Re: Postmaster doesn't start under CygWin (semctl failed)

Thanks for help.
Now I have my postgres user.

And I saw I'm in postgresql 7.3.2.
If I want to upgrade to 7.3.3 do I have to uninstall ? Do I need to
upgrade ?

I tried to start postmaster, without success. The service stop with no
message from postmaster.

So I gave a look at /usr/share/postgresql directory
I saw the owner was not postgres. So I tried a chown or chown -R again
on the data directory and the owner stays always and always my NT Login
User.

I started postmaster under bash (while IPC-daemon was started like a NT
service) and I used -d 5 parameter to debug.

The message received was :

IpcSemaphoreInitialize: semctl(id=2, 0, SETVAL, 0) failed: Invalid argument

Where is the problem ?

I cannot reproduce the problem or think of other things to try. So, you
will have to debug this problem further yourself.

Sorry,

I had a similar problem when i tried to install postgres as a service
last year. I ended up just starting manually from the command line. Good
thing old commands are saved by the shell, and can be easily scrolled
through...

It would be nice if someone who can reproduce the problem tries to debug
it, so we can squash this one too...
