Re: initdb hangs

Hello Gary,

Hanging in this spot on initdb usually means you do not have
the ipc-daemon.exe process running (from cygipc).  Make sure you have
that running and you should be fine.

Cheers,

Mike

Subject: [CYGWIN] initdb hangs

Hi all,

I've just installed the binary only cygwin today and I'm trying to get
postgesql working.  I've had a quick look at the readme and the archives
and
I think I've done everything I need to (set
PGDATA=/usr/share/postgressql/data, made sure I've got entries in passwd
and
group etc.)

When I run initdb (with the -D param and without), it hangs  on the
bottom
line of the extract below.  There is no disk activity and it doesn't
matter
how long I leave it.

Anyone got any ideas?
