Re: Problem with PostgreSQL: unable to connect to database

I'm having problems in connecting my PostgreSQL database to the server.  I’m using PostgreSQL 7.3 and pgAdmin II 1.4.  This is the situation:

 

1.  At the Cygwin window,

           

eng91066@ENG91066 ~

$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "eng91066".

This user must also own the server process.

 

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

 

initdb: The directory /usr/local/pgsql/data exists but is not empty.

If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty the directory /usr/local/pgsql/data or run initdb with an argument other than /usr/local/pgsql/data.

 

eng91066@ENG91066 ~

$ /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -o -i -l logfile start
