You need to run the ipc-daemon in order to initdb or start the database. Please see the FAQ. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN Also consider using the cygwin postgresql package. Detailed instructions for installing from the package can be found here: http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.4.README Corey ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
