Thread: Troubles with Postmaster on XP
Running:
Win-XP
cygwin - 1.3.22-1
postgresql - 7.3.4-1
cygipc - 1.14-1
Install process worked fine. No problem running cyg-ipc or initdb. But any attempt to:
postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data &
fails with the following message:
IpcSemaphoreInitialize: semctl(id=2, 0, SETVAL, 0) failed: Invalid argument
LOG: startup process (pid 2472) exited with exit code 1
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure

Does the following (from the README) help?
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.
If not, then see the following:
