[ADMIN] postgres in windows xP

[James Nyunt]

Hi I have been trying to get postgres in windows through cygwin. No success yet. I followed all the instructions in postgresql-7.4.5 step by step. But the last a few steps, particularly, in step 9, cygrunsrv –S postmaster  doesn’t work. I could not start postmaster as service at all. I have added postgres to log on as service in secpol.msc. I can also see postmaster in service, in postmaster’s property, log in tab, I can also see postgres. Ok, here are a few messages, I got, I tried both commands cygrunsrv and net start. When I run as   admin user , who got admin right, I got these errors   [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cygrunsrv -S postmaster cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.   [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ net start postmaster The postmaster service is starting. The postmaster service could not be started.   A system error has occurred.   System error 1067 has occurred.   The process terminated unexpectedly.   When I run as postgres user, who got limited right, I got these   [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cygrunsrv -S postmaster cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: OpenSCManager:  Win32 error 5: Access is denied.   [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ net start postmaster System error 5 has occurred.   Access is denied.     Any Help please, With many thanks James
