Thread: 7.4.5 FAQ_MSWIN still refers to ipc-daemon2
quoting from cygwin /usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.5/FAQ_MSWIN "3. Once the download and install process is complete, open a Cygwin shell and do the following for a basic installation: 3a. Start ipc-daemon2 for shared memory support. To do this, enter the command "ipc-daemon2 &". This program needs to be running anytime you start the PostgreSQL server (postmaster) or initialize a database (initdb)." on the mirror that I use (mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/cygwin/release/postgresql) postgresql-7.4.5-1.tar.bz2 from august is the latest (other than an 8.0.0 beta from october). The same files are on sources.redhat.com. Is there any chance of geting a rebuilt cygwin package with more recent docs and 7.4.6? klint. +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ : Klint Gore : "Non rhyming : : EMail : kg@kgb.une.edu.au : slang - the : : Snail : A.B.R.I. : possibilities : : Mail University of New England : are useless" : : Armidale NSW 2351 Australia : L.J.J. : : Fax : +61 2 6772 5376 : : +---------------------------------------+-----------------+

I submitted a patch to correct the above on Tue, 20 Jul 2004 07:33:25. IMO, you should use the Cygwin PostgreSQL README instead: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.5.README > Is there any chance of geting a rebuilt cygwin package with more recent > docs and 7.4.6? Building a Cygwin 7.4.6 has been on my todo list. Sorry, no ETA.
