Hello PostgreSQL, I am trying to install the PostgreSQL 7.2 downloaded by Cygwin but the install does not match any of the documentation. Help!
Last year I installed PostgreSQL 7.1 on NT for a one off project then deleted it. I used the pg download then added Cygwin using the Cygwin download. Everything worked after I put together documentation from several included files, a few web pages and lots of experiments. This time I am attempting to use the Cygwin download including PostgreSQL. The documentation is scattered over several documents and none match the actual installation process. I resorted to trial and error. Initdb hangs when "Creating template1 database" so there must be a step missing. Given the many "try this" paragraphs across several documents, I estimate the number of combinations will exceed the storage capacity of a 32 bit integer. Should I give up on Cygwin and go back to what I did last time? Is there a document or web page that describes a successful installation step by step?
