Re: error in cygwin - please help me

This error appears to have been submitted on 24 Sep 2004, but I can't find
the solution.

I am running a fresh complete install of Cygwin as well as the download
for PostrgreSQL 7.4.5.

When I do the 'initdb -D /var/postgresql/data' I get the following result:
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "Chip".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

creating directory /var/postgresql/data... ok
creating directory /var/postgresql/data/base... ok

creating directory /var/postgresql/data/pg_xlog... ok

initdb: failed
initdb: removing data directory "/var/postgresql/data"

From what I read, i understand the initial 'Signal 12's are fine. But it
still doesn't install the DB. I have CYGSERVER installed and it appears
to be running correctly. I have opened all of the permissions in the
following folders in hopes of avoiding the permission error:
/var/*
/usr/*
/tmp/*

Thank you for your help!
