I asked on cygwin but no answer yet; maybe someone here knows.
I've been running PostgreSQL 7.4.1 successfully for a few weeks under an
updated cygwin, but it stopped working over the weekend. That happened
to be the time XP Pro decided my postgres password should expire. I
gave it a new password, as requested, but postmaster still won't start.
ipc-daemon2.exe is running.
When I tried to start the postmaster as postgres and not as a service
using
postmaster -D /var/postgresql/data
I got
LOG: shmdt(0xf90000) failed: invalid argument
LOG: database system was shut down at 2004-03-21 09:04:56 PST
LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/1DB0E00
LOG: redo record is at 0/1DB0E00; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG: next transaction ID: 3987; next OID: 18937
LOG: database system is ready
but when I try cygrunsrv -S postmaster
I get a Windows error 5 (logon).
Suggestions? I do have a backup of the database, so I guess I could
start over. I guess I'm trying to figure out where to start in
/cygwin/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.1.README.
Thanks,
Bill
