Thread: Help with initdb
Hi! I'm having trouble to install postgreSQL/cygwin in winXP systems. I tried 3 differents PCs with winXP pro and each time I get into the same problem: - initdb is unable to finish - in debug mode it stops after the following message ----------- .... -------------------------------------------- creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... DEBUG: invoking IpcMemoryCreate(size=1081344) Signal 12 initdb: failed initdb: removing data directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data" ---------- ..... ---------------------------------------------- I tried to change /etc/cygserver.conf with: kern.ipc.semmns 80 kern.ipc.semmsl 80 kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs 16384 kern.ipc.shmmni 16384 kern.ipc.shmseg 16384 But I've got the same results. What should I do? Thanx! paulino ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ by NuCC-INTERNET
The docs or webpage you are using for the install are out of date. Cygserver is now used instead of ipc-daemon2. See the readme included now located in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin Mike On Tue, 2004-08-03 at 08:13, Paulino Ng wrote: > Hi! > > I'm having trouble to install postgreSQL/cygwin in winXP systems. > I tried 3 differents PCs with winXP pro and each time I get into the same > problem: > - initdb is unable to finish - in debug mode it stops after the following > message > ----------- .... -------------------------------------------- > creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1...

Check that the cygserver service, which you have configured, is actually running. Either you forgot to start the service,or the service fails to start due to permission issues. --Tim -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Paulino Ng Sent: dinsdag 3 augustus 2004 15:13 To: pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org Subject: [CYGWIN] Help with initdb Hi!
