Thanks all in providing me some needed tips and information. Being a newbie to this environment, I was jumping from one set of README's from a previous versions and the reading the current README's for 7.4.3 and was confused on why one set of instructions was using the ipc-daemon2 and the current version using cygserver. In doing so, I also didn't realize the different path information and daemon or cygserver that were being used i.e. in the previous version it was referencing /usr/share/postgresql/data and the current was using /var/postgresql/data. I still don't know why the paths changed. Does anyone know? Overall, it was just a big mess in my part. I also found out that I didn't set my path and environmental variables correctly. After an exhaustive research based on previous past problems that other users posted, I was able to knock a problem off one by one. Sorry for being long winded, but just wanted to inform everyone that I was finally able to get it running on XP pro. Now on to configuring the database and its tables for my Company's website.

I have 7.4.1 working on my XP Pro laptop, via Cygwin......I ran into all sorts of problems trying to compile from source, so in the end I just downloaded the pre-built binary from the Cygwin site and it worked first time. I use it for development, so I start/stop Postmaster by hand as necessary. The only thing that threw me initially was that you have to have ipc- daemon running - I think that's in a or a README somewhere. --Ray. ------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell http://www.galwaycathedral.org/recitals [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galway Cathedral Recitals ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
