Encountered the following problem when trying to create a database user in
cygwin running on XP, has anyone encountered this or been able to
sucsessfully run postgres through cygwin on XP? Thanks-Ed
TEST@XP /usr/local/pgsql/data
$ createuser xythos
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
psql: pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly. This probably
means the backend terminated abnormally before or while processing the
request.
createuser: creation of user "xythos" failed
This was in the DEBUG output:
