Thread: Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the postmaster service to connect

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the postmaster service to connect

From

I have installed the postmaster (on WIN2K professional) as a service like this:
 
cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-i" --dep ipc-daemon --termsig INT --user administrator --shutdown
 
When I restart the machine, I get the following two errors in the event log from the Service Control Manager:
 
The postmaster service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. 
 
and
 
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the postmaster service to connect.
 
I checked to see if the postmaster.pid file was left around, and it had been cleaned up properly on shutdown.  Has anyone else seen this?

Not personally, but many other have:

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any resolutions in the above...

Sorry,
