help about running the postmaster

Hello everyone,

This is my first time to enter in to this mailing list.

By the way, I have a problem in starting the postmaster the second time
around.  When I tried to run again the postmaster, it hangs and no more
debug info written on the screen.  When I tried to debug it this is the
error:

FindExec: searching PATH ...
ValidateBinary: can't stat "/usr/local/bin/postgres"
FindExec: found "/usr/bin/postgres" using PATH
invoking IpcMemoryCreate(size=1441792)

By the way, I just click the x button at the right most side of the cygwin
screen when I terminated the postmaster.

I badly need your help in this matter.

Thanks,
Juliet

Juliet, can you please tell us what OS you are using, and whether you are
trying to start it as a service under NT/2K/XP or as a stand alone program
(9x/Me) please.

It doesn't appear that the four lines from debug you supply are really
showing an error, moreover just that the executable was found by using the
PATH environment variable. The last line refers to postmaster using the
cygipc daemon and if this is the last line in the log, perhaps your
problems lie with the cygipc install not postgreSQL?

Tim.
