<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to install Postgresql 7.1.3 on Windows
2000 and Cygwin, using the binaries contained in Cygwin's postgresql 7.1.3
distribution, but I can't get it running.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the binaries located in
c:/cygwin/local/pgsql/bin. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After I unpacked the, I did the
following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I executed the ipc-daemon:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <A
href="mailto:Administrator@PHOENIX">Administrator@PHOENIX</A> ~<BR> $
/usr/local/bin/ipc-daemon.exe &<BR> [1] 1516</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I executed the initdb command:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <A
href="mailto:Administrator@PHOENIX">Administrator@PHOENIX</A> /bin<BR> $
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then I ran this command:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At this point, I got a message that said: bash:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster: No such file or directory</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't see any program called postmaster in the
postgresql archive, so I tried substituting "POSTGRES" in place of
"POSTMASTER", as in:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This generated the following response:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2> $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data <BR> DEBUG: database system was shut down at
2001-11-18 11:46:59<BR> DEBUG: CheckPoint record at (0,

<BR> DEBUG: database system is in production state<BR> FATAL
1: Database "Administrator" does not exist in the system
catalog.<BR> DEBUG: shutting down<BR> DEBUG: database
system is shut down</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All the documentation I have points to a program
called postmaster, but I don't see this program located in the
distribution. I also tried downloading the distribution from two different
locations, but I still do not see the postmaster program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another strange thing is that I tried to create a
postgres user in Windows 2000, then logged in as that user. However, when
I started Cygwin, I still had the <A
href="mailto:Administrator@PHOENIX">"Administrator@PHOENIX</A>", instead of <A
href="mailto:postgres@PHOENIX">postgres@PHOENIX</A> </FONT>prompt.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
