Thread: Suggestion
I just finished installing PostGreSQL 7 on cygwin. I used the folowing page for instructions: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_CYGWIN.html During the process I encountered an error when trying to initialize the database with the command "initdb -D /var/postgresql/data" It gave a bunch of errors, similar to this: "selecting default max_connections... /usr/bin/initdb: line 564: 2904 Bad system call "$PGPATH"/postgres -boot -x0 $TEST_OPT template1 </dev/null >/dev/ null 2>&1" The solution to this was quite simple and you might want to add it to the cygwin faqs. I added an environment variable called "cygwin" with the value "server". Basically doing this by adding the line "cygwin=server" in the cygwin.bat before the bash is loaded. Many thanks for providing such a good and free product. Martijn Loeffen.
