Re: Need some help getting started

Nope, that didn't work.

But, I found the following line in the
/var/logs/postmaster file.

FATAL:  Can't read lock file /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock:
Permission denied

I get the following for /tmp when I type "ls -l /"
drwxrwxrwx+   2 Dan    None            0 Oct 27 08:38
tmp

and /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock does not exist

So, I have another question. Am I looking at the right
README file?  I'm using
/usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.3.4.README

My copy of this file says to use "ntrights", not
"editrights".


Here again are the 2 errors logged in application
events:

Event 2

DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.
You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to

I'm confused why this says "postmaster.log" instead of
"postmaster".
