I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I did verify that /tmp/.s.PSQL.5432 was not present. As far as version of cygwin, I don't know how to check it. I did run setup within the past week. It should be an up to date version. Jason Tishler wrote: Jason, On Fri, Aug 22, 2003 at 07:12:33PM

Jason, uname or uname -a should let you know the version of the Cygwin DLL. Also, cygcheck -c cygwin will tell you the version of the cygwin package that you have installed. FYI, according to http://cygwin.com/problems.html you would have done well to attach (that is, *attach* as an attachment)

Thanks for the help everyone (Jason, Igor and Jonathan) #2 did solve the problem. I have also upgraded the cygwin version to 1.5 which was probably another problem. Now all I have to do is figure out how to use postgres ;) Some recommended doc improvements (to prevent questions from people

Umm, Jason (Tishler), you might want to change the service management section in the docs to use cygrunsrv -S, cygrunsrv -E and cygrunsrv -Q (for query). These work just as well as net start and net stop, and cygrunsrv has an additional benefit of being pty-aware, so it should always produce
