Have you followed all the steps in the Cygwin README file for Postgres, exactly? That file is located at /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-*.README. Note, in particular, that those steps have you run initdb a second time to create the empty database owned by the 'postgres' user, a necessary step for running postgresql as a service associated with that postgres user. -- Fred Yankowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +1.630.879.1312 OntoSys, Inc PGP keyID: 7B449345 fax: +1.630.879.1370 www.ontosys.com 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510-9461, USA ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
