Thread: Trouble initdb Postgresql 8.0.3 Cygwin

Hi,

I compile Postgresql with cygwin.
configure --prefix=/opt/postgresql-8.0.3
make
make install
I change Path.
All seems OK.
But I try to use initdb nothing happen.
Can you some tell me what I'm missing?

That nothing happens is very unlikely.
I assume your initdb fails with signal 12
like
creating configuration files... ok
creating template1 database in /var/postgresql/data/base/1... Signal 12

initdb: failed

This tells you that IPC couldn't be initialized, most likely that
cygserver is not running or your /etc/cygserver.conf settings are too small.
