Thread: Problem with connectiong to postmaster (WinNT 4.0 SP6)
Hello! I have sucessfully installed and compiled PostgreSQL 7.0 to WinNT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 6 My machine is a dual PIII-500 workstation (in case it can cause problems) The initdb script works as it should and everything works fine and runs smoothly until I try to start a program or a script that wants a connection to the postmaster. As an example: ----------------- bash-2.02$ ipc-daemon.exe & [1] 1016 bash-2.02$ postmaster -i & [2] 1017 bash-2.02$ createdb testing psql: connectDBStart() -- socket() failed: errno=106 Addresses in the specified family cannot be used with this socket createdb: database creation failed ------------------ Any hints ? +------------------------------------------+----------------------+ | David Lofstrand - Programmer | Surgical Science AB | | davidl<NO_SPAMMING>@surgical-science.com | Medicinareg 3A | | Tel: +46 (0)31-74 11 804 | SE-413 46 Gothenburg | | Fax: +46 (0)31-74 11 701 | SWEDEN | +------------------------------------------+----------------------+

Hmm.. I also built the binary for NT on Cygwin B20.1. The binary is at: ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v7.0/NT/ I think the PostgreSQL only runs on Cygwin. > +------------------------------------------+----------------------+ > | David Lofstrand - Programmer | Surgical Science AB | > | davidl<NO_SPAMMING>@surgical-science.com | Medicinareg 3A | > | Tel: +46 (0)31-74 11 804 | SE-413 46 Gothenburg | > | Fax: +46 (0)31-74 11 701 | SWEDEN | > +------------------------------------------+----------------------+ - Kevin

Are you running NT with service pack 6 or 6a? I recall having a similar problem with postgres on NT and it cleared up after installing 6a. I believe it is mentioned somewhere in the ports archive as well. Can you get the psql interpreter to work? Try: psql -i localhost template1 and then: create database testing; -- Dan Rosner Cascade Programming Group rosner@scn.org

Can the problem related to the IPC package? I've compiled & installed cygwin32_ipc-1.03 I think it's not likely since it should produce some ipc-errors as well, but you never know... I'm also using Cygwin B20.1, I have also edited the pgsql_dir/data/hba.conf so it contains the lines: local all trust host all 127.0.0.1 my.subnet.mask.number trust host all my.ip.number my.subnet.mask.number trust further I have created the /etc/passwd and /etc/group in cygwin... and generally followed the NT-port guide -- +-------------------------------+----------------------+ | David Loefstrand - Programmer | Surgical Science AB | | davidl@surgical-science.com | Medicinareg 3A | | Tel: +46 (0)31-74 11 804 | SE-413 46 Gothenburg | | Fax: +46 (0)31-74 11 701 | SWEDEN | +-------------------------------+----------------------+

The unpatched daemon has a semaphore bug which causes spinlocks. Try to use this one (patched and compiled) that Alexei Zakharov pointed out to me: http://www.s34.co.jp/~luster/pgsql/cygwin32_ipc-1.03-bin-patched.tar.bz2 Or search the list to find and apply the patch yourself.
