Thread: ipc-daemon2 says "
Hi. I know this might not be the best place for my question, but I trust postgresql lists more, and this is directly related to Postgres. :-) I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 7.4 according to this page, http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/doc/FAQ_MSWIN?rev=1.16 and this other one, http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.4.README I can't get ipc-daemon2 running. As soon as I try "net start ipc-daemon2" I get the following error message: Unable to open "Sem" file: No such file or directory. I searched the archives, and most people get a "permission denied", but here it doesn't even find the file! I don't know what this file is supposed to be, nor where can I find it. I'd appreciate any help. -- Octavio Alvarez. E-mail: alvarezp@alvarezp.ods.org. Agradezco que sus correos sean enviados siempre a esta dirección.

I could only reproduce the above if I deleted (i.e., renamed) my /tmp directory. Do you have a /tmp? If not, then create one. If so, then I don't know what is causing your problem.

Thanks, Jason. I will check that. (I also wanted to correct the subject to the message. ;) Looks like I missed it in the original. ) Octavio.

I actually have a /tmp. I found something. "ipc-daemon2 &" DOES start, but I have to do it manually. I'd also like to know if this error really corresponds to ipc-daemon2, as I read it in the Event Viewer, but nothing gets logged into /var/log. I installed PostgreSQL to a non-previously-installed-cygwin system, by downloding the setup program and choosing only PostgreSQL 7.4 and leaving everything else as the default. Check out this session. (Some messages are translated, so they might not be exactly like the ones in English). Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt. See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users. oalvarez@octavio-alvarez ~ $ net start ipc-daemom2 Service name is not valid.

The above is likely the problem. If you passwd and group files are not correct, then (strange) problems can occur. Try fixing this configuration problem and then try again.
