PostgreSQL_7.5.4-1 on Windows-XP

Sirs,

I have been trying to install PostgreSQL_7.4.5 onto my PC running XP.  I have gone through the process in the document
FAQ_MSWINand installed a large number of the Cygwin components, including the latest version of PostgreSQL from their
site. However, when I try to initialise the Shared Memory daemon, 'ipc-daemon2', as per the document, my cygwin shell
reports'bash: ipc-daemon2: command not found'. 

I have searched for the above command on my drives (using 'find') but again no luck.  Can you please help, as I have
notbeen able to locate this on Cygwin site, either? 

Thanks in advance,

E.

The faq your are looking at is out of date.  ipc-daemon2 was replaced by cygserver a few releases ago.  Included in the
installationfiles should be a readme for cygserver.  Check it out or browse the mailing list.  There have been many
postingson this.

/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.5/FAQ_MSWIN is outdated, and should not be
read. it still desciobes ipc_daemon2, but we use now cygserver.
read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.5.README instead
