Hi:

I'm have a little issue here with my postmaster service. When i'm tried to up the service postmaster with a /bin/postmaster -D /var/postgresql/data -i they show a message :

WARNING:  dup(0) failed after 3196 successes: Bad file
descriptor
C:\cygwin\bin\postgres.exe (768): *** MapViewOfFileEx (0xF10000), Win32
error 487.  Terminating.
LOG:  startup process (PID 768) exited with exit code 1
LOG:  aborting startup due to startup process failure
C:\cygwin\bin\postgres.exe (1636): *** MapViewOfFileEx (0xF10000), Win32
error 487.  Terminating.

but where change the command line for :

/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/posgresql/data -l logfile start        

running without problems.... what can i do ? because i can't run the postmaster with a services for windows....

Pls. need some help....

I believe the bad file descriptor is telling you that when the
postmaster is trying to start that it cannot write to the log file.
When you ran pg_ctl and specified the -l logfile option you forced
postgres to use a different log file in a different location.

Check your permissions.  The default log file location is /var/log.

HTH.

If not please let us know what version of windows and postgresql you are
using.
