Hi,

Could you please tell me how to run 'configure' command on win2000
after I unzip postgresql-7.1.2.tar.gz? Thanks.

Make sure the cygipc stuff is up and running (ipc-daemon &) before anything
else. Also you may not realise it but the latest versions of cygwin come
with postgresql precompiled. You still need to get cygipc however, its at:
    http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/
For more info there is a FAQ at:
    http://postgresql.bteg.net/docs/faq-mswin
For more info look to www.postgresql.org which also has searchable mailing
list for pgsql-cygwin and also techdocs.postgresql.org
hope this help

RE: postgresql on win2000

Hello,
    You need to be in the directory you expanded the postgresql source
into (and at the cygwin bash command line). I tend to go to /usr/src and
tar-zxvf postgresql-7.1.2.tar.gz then go into postgresql-7.1.2 and type
./configure. However if you can use the pre-compiled postgresql you may as
well (you'll probably need to do initdb before you can start the postmaster,
and for both you need ipc-daemon to be running).
    As to the packages you need to compile postgresql I tend to just
select the latest of all of them bar readline, of which I pick the prev 4.1
version (4.2 is missing a declaration postgresql uses, although there's a
postgresql patch floating around somewhere to handle this).

Just click on the cygwin Icon that appears after install (or
start->menu->cygnus solutions->Cygwin BASH shell). This brings up a command
prompt running the BASH shell

RE: postgresql on win2000

From

Sounds like you don't have your path correctly set up (or you've missed
installing sed). Have a look at the FAQ for the paths needed (can't remember
of hand, but c:\cygwin\bin or similar will probably be needed).
Unless you have a strong need to do other wise I think trying to get the
pre-built binaries working would probably be the easiest route. You may have
to set a path to where ever the executable is and then do something like:
ipc-daemon &; initdb -D <data-dir>; postmaster -i -D <data-dir> &
I think there's a postgresql-README in the postgresql-7.1.2-3 packages used
by the cygwin setup. (puts it to /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.2.README)

cat should be in /bin (/usr/bin as one is linked to the other via a mount).
Make sure your path points to here. (eg: In Win 9x make a line if I remember
correctly PATH=c:\cygwin\bin;%PATH% ) Have a look at the cygwin site to see
what advice about paths they give (as well as the postgresql README).

RE: postgresql on win2000

From
"Henshall, Stuart - WCP"
Date:
I think I see what is up. I guess you installed postgresql as a specific
user and have now logged out and logged backin as the administrator for
which no user exists in any of the databases. You can give user
administrator privs by doing the following:
psql -U user_name template1
where user_name is the user_name you installed under.
then at the psql prompt:
CREATE USER Administrator CREATEDB CREATEUSER;
this should then create a user administrtor with full privs in for that data
set of postgresql.

RE: postgresql on win2000

From
"Henshall, Stuart - WCP"
Date:
    It seems that the backend is working.
    (FYI: cygwin uses INET sockets anyway, but remeber on Unix/Linux/BSD
to use postmaster -i & to enable TCP/IP connections).
    1) I've never used ipgsql so can not really help. (Have you tried
pgadmin?). It could be that you have to edit the pg_hba.conf file in your
data directory. Also if its connecting via ODBC you'll need to make sure
thats set up (see http://odbc.postgresql.org ).
    2) That looks fine to me (IIRC first number is the OID of the
inserted row, second number is the number of rows inserted).
    3) I'm guessing there is still a missing path, or a missing program.
There should be a program called less.exe in /bin that should have been
installed in the cygwin setup. If this is missing rerun setup and include
it. If it is there then that probably means that your path isn't pointing
towarsds it. psql just uses less to display result sets and it won't stop
the backend functioning.
