Hi, How did you install cygwin? The cygwin setup installer has an option to installer for all users - selecting that made cygserverwork for me (using XP Pro, sp1). How is cygwin installed on your machine? --Tim -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of David Riggs Sent: donderdag 1 juli 2004 9:23 To: pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org Subject: [CYGWIN] sygserver fails with "failed to create named pipe, fatal error on IPC transport" Dear List, Thanks to earlier help from you all, I went back and installed the proper cygserver for the new 7.4.3. But I cannot get it to run. I see in the README that : ""On Windows NT/2000/XP or 2003, you should always run Cygserver as a service under LocalSystem account. This is the way it is installed for you by the /usr/bin/cygserver-config script." I am running WinXP Pro. But I do not know how to do this (sorry, a real Windows beginner), could someone please talk me through it? I presume this is the cause of the failure described below. Thanks very much, David ps, I have been through the readme for cygserver and postgresql install and checked permissions and added both CYGWIN and CYGSERVER to Windows system environment variable with value of server. If I just try to start up cygserver: $cygserver <i.e. started with no parameters> cygserver: Initialization complete. Waiting for requests. cygserver: failed to create named pipe: is the daemon already running? cygserver: fatal error on IPC transport: closing down" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
