Hmm. You should also check that /etc/cygserver.conf is readable by SYSTEM and that /var/log/cygserver.log is readable and writable by SYSTEM. You could always just do "chown SYSTEM:root" and "chmod 644" on them if unsure, but I suspect they're fine.
Well, you're on the right track. Adding -d to the cygserver options caused Event Viewer to come up with this:
cygserver : PID 800 : starting service `' failed: redirect_fd: open (1, /var/log/cygserver.log): 2, No such file or directory.
So I tried (numerous times) setting the perms both from bash and Windows to no avail. Tried deleting and re-creating the file. Here is a partial transcript:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log
$ rm cygserver.log
rm: remove write-protected file `cygserver.log'? y
$ touch cygserver.log
$ chown SYSTEM:root cygserver.log
$ chmod 644 cygserver.log
$ ls -l cygserver.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM root 0 Sep 29 11:47 cygserver.log
$ cygrunsrv -S cygserver
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.
$ chmod 777 cygserver.log
$ cygrunsrv -S cygserver
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.
Error message in Event Viewer repeats the "No such file or directory" error.
Would sure appreciate some ideas.
One thing, when I installed this cygwin I checked the "Install For Just Me" option. Could this have anything to do with it?
Thanks, Michael
