I have a big problem installing postmaster as a service under Windows XP with cygwin. I already installed postgresql on 2 machines without problems but this machine really seem to don't like postgresql ;) I do exactly the procedure indicated in the README file but I always got the same problem with this machine. When I try to start postmaster [cygrunsrv -S postmaster] who was previously installed as a service with the command [cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D /usr/share/postgresql/data2 -i" --dep ipc-daemon2 --termsig INT --user jeanseb --shutdown], I always got the same error :
The postmaster service could not be started. The service did not report an error.
I checked if an old postmaster.pid was not deleted and I don't found any. Any help will be really really appreciated.
Thanks
Melanie
