I can't access the site by typing the URI (ftp://ftp.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/releas e) into the installer. It timed out. I downloaded the whole tree.
That won't install either. The installer throws a fit (aka. an address exception) after showing strange chars in the install tree root and only a few leaves.
Okay, so I installed the latest and greatest complete cygwin WITHOUT Postgres, installed the ipc-daemon (I can't get the one I had, so it's 1.13. I installed, got the usual (at least on my machine) mode 0000 for all binaries (?). Chmod'ed them to 2777 (I know that's unsecure). --install-as-service'd the ipc-daemon and verified that it ran.
Started the installer from the cygwin site and thanks to the advise from Christopher ([EMAIL PROTECTED] , thank you very much!) installed from the copy of the tree ftp'ed from the site the Postgres (V 7.1.3).
When I pg_start'ed Postgres it took 99% cpu; the usual sign that it does not find the ipc-daemon. I verified that the daemon ran. (It did). Chris send me a copy of 7.2.3 (identical to the version I had before). I installed from this version after completely uninstalling and physically removing the cygwin directory tree: Same result.
Lastly I reinstalled with the latest version of postgres and voila, it ran like a pink rabbit. Uninstalling Postgres and installing any of the two prior versions resultet in 99% cpu from Postgres.
My conclusion is that the ipc-daemon is the culprit and not backwards compatible to Postgres < 7.3, which does not make a whole lot of sense.
There is NO version 1.10 of cygipc aka. ipc-daemon on http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/ available for download.
Does anybody out there have either V1.10 of cygipc or a glue what is going so wrong with my install?
I don't think that is your problem as I successfully ran postgres 7.2.3 with cygipc 1.13 for several weeks before inadvertently upgrading to 7.3.2 like Gunter.
