Hello,

   After digging a lot, i discover that the initdb fail to do his job:

$ initdb -U postgres -D /usr/share/postgresql/data2 -W -E LATIN1 -d
Running in debug mode.

initdb: internal variables:
   PGDATA=/usr/share/postgresql/data2
   datadir=/usr/share/postgresql
   PGPATH=/usr/bin
   ENCODING=LATIN1
   ENCODINGID=8
   POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=postgres
   POSTGRES_BKI=/usr/share/postgresql/postgres.bki
   POSTGRES_DESCR=/usr/share/postgresql/postgres.description
   POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample
   PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_hba.conf.sample
   PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_ident.conf.sample
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "jeff".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

If you do a $env does cygwin=server appear in the list?

I had the same problem, it took me 2 days to figure it out.

My problem was the enviroment variable in windows (CYGWIN=server). When you
install cyrserver it writes out thet he needs this variable. So put this
enviroment variable.

Look in the document: /usr/share/doc/cygwin/postgresql-7.4.3.README at the
special instructions(chmod for the temp dir and /usr/bin etc).

Hope this helps.

Andy.
