I am using Cygwin 1.5.10-3 and postgresql 7.4.3-1 freshly downloaded and installed from scratch earlier today.

I have set CYGWIN=server and started cygserver (from the default account).

I receive the following when I execute "initdb -D /home/default/data --debug". Can someone set me straight? I don't see this particular problem in the archives. Thanks.

================

Running in debug mode.

initdb: internal variables:
PGDATA=/home/default/data
datadir=/usr/share/postgresql
PGPATH=/usr/bin
ENCODING=
ENCODINGID=0
POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=default

PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_ident.conf.sample
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "default".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

What version of windows is this on and are you trying to run it as a
service?
