Обсуждение: Fw: Starting postmaster as a service (newbie)
Hi,
I have got a peculiar problem with my postmaster.I have installed cyg-ipc and postmaster as services on Windows 2000.
But when I restart the system , the postmaster doesn't start.I figured that it is because I have to do the init db everytime this happens. But I have to empty the data directory to do initdb in which case I will lose the created tables.
Is there any solution for this problem, so that I need not have to run initdb and delete the data directory every time the postmaster fails to start.
Thank you in advance,
help appreciated

You should not have to run initdb after each restart, check out the following link on setting up cygwin as a service: http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.2.README future questions should be posted to pgsql-cygwin Robert Treat On Thu, 2003-06-05 at 10:27, Vinay wrote: > > > Hi, > I have got a peculiar problem with my postmaster.I have installed > cyg-ipc and postmaster as services on Windows 2000. > But when I restart the system , the postmaster doesn't start.I figured > that it is because I have to do the init db everytime this happens.
