Thread: Stuck in the installation

I have installed the postgreSQL on top of cygwin on tow boxes. It is fine on one box, but not on the other. The process

was stayed at the stage for a very long period with almost 100% CPU time. I couldn't find out any error and nothing was

written into the /base/1 directory.

What may go wrong here?



$ initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

Did you forget to start ipc-daemon?
