I'm trying to do the NT services Cygwin PostgreSQL installation procedure.
I'm following the postgresql-7.1.3.README file. I get to step seven and it
just hangs. There's no error or anything it just never finishes. I suspect
the permission's might be a mess. I've looked in the services console and
it shows the ipc daemon. I tried the basic procedure and it worked. I could
get in the db with psql. Can someone help me, as you can see I'm at a loss.
I'm really going to use this db on a Solaris 8 server, but can't seem to
get it to work on my Win2k Pro.

Thank You,

But, is ipc-daemon running? Or, is it just listed as install?

I have also seen hangs when the following files (created by cygipc) are
not owned by the PostgreSQL account:

/tmp/MultiFile* /tmp/cygipc*

Deleted them and restarting PostgreSQL fixes this problem.

Does either of the above apply to your situation?
