Thread: problem installing Postgresql DB
Hi ! I'm trying to install postgresql DB in a windows 2000 OS I follow instructions found at: http://www2.se.postgresql.org/docs/faq-mswin.html I've succesfully (as far as I know) completed installation of Cygwin, and have downloadede the cygipc package. When I try to install/untar the cygipc package, I get an error Thanx in advance for any help !! ***start dump from Cygwin window*** Administrator@INCYMACHINE2 /usr/local $ pwd /usr/local Administrator@INCYMACHINE2 /usr/local $ tar -C / -xjf cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2 tar (child): bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Administrator@INCYMACHINE2 /usr/local $ ***end dump from Cygwin window*** vh, Ingebrigt M Berg Berg & Bell AS (+47) 98252360 berg@berg-bell.com http://berg-bell.com
I think that maybe you don't have bzip2 installed? Try downloading the gzip-ed tarfile. dwb ------------------------------------------------------- David W.

Install the bzip2 package. I would also recommend installing all Cygwin
packages unless you know what you are doing. BTW, a pre-built PostgreSQL
is part of the standard Cygwin distribution.
Please read the README:
http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.2.README
Thanks,
Jason

No. Is there anything interesting in /var/log/postmaster.log? What happens when you run postmaster from the command line? Jason
Jason,
I did as you asked, and it seems I have a problem with memory or with
swap space. Seems a bit starnge that I should have this, though.
Anyone out there with any pointers ?
From the Cygwin window:
***start dump***
Administrator@MyMachine ~
$ net start postmaster
The postmaster service is starting.
The postmaster service was started successfully.
Administrator@MyMachine ~
$ psql -U postgres template1
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
***end dump***
In the log (I emptied the log first):
DEBUG: database system was interrupted at 2002-03-08 13:21:42
DEBUG: checkpoint record is at 0/113A80
DEBUG: redo record is at 0/113A80; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown

DEBUG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic

IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=1441792, 03600) failed: Not
enough memory
This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared
memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space.
To reduce the request size (currently 1441792 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 64) and/or
its max_connections parameter (currently 32).
The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
shared memory configuration.

Does the following from the README apply?
2. It is recommended to delete all cygipc temporary files
(/tmp/cygipc* and /tmp/MultiFile*) before starting postmaster under
a different user account. Otherwise, postmaster will fail to start
due to IPC errors.
Jason
Jason, Nope, this is not the problem (I had a problem with this earlier, when I changed away from the postgres user, but I solved this as described in README) Doublechecked now (i.e. deleted the files, tried again), and still have the same problem. cheers, Ingebrigt ---- Original Message ---- From: jason@tishler.net To: berg@berg-bell.com Subject: Re: [CYGWIN] problem installing Postgresql DB Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2002 11:03:29 -0500 >Ingebrigt, > >On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 01:29:37PM +0100, Ingebrigt Maurstad Berg >wrote: >> I did as you asked, and it seems I have a problem with memory or >with >> swap space.

Sorry, but I'm out of ideas. Hopefully, someone else can help... Jason
