[postgis-users] Cygwin installation

[Steffen Macke]

Meredith,

eventually your postgres user does not have the right to run postgres.exe

Could you try to fix the access rights with

chmod a+rx /usr/bin/postgres.exe

as the administrator of the machine

and try again to run postgres.exe as the user postgres?
If it still doesn't work, have a look at the postmaster log file

c:\cygwin\var\log\postmaster.log

This file might contain an error message that helps you to track down 
the problem.
