Hi
I have managed to get postmaster to start from Cygwin's command prompt and I
have installed IPC-Deamon and started it as per insructions in the dob
http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.4.README.
However when I try to start the postmaster service I get the following error
in the postmaster log:
> IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=1499136, 03600) failed: Not
enough core> >
>
> This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared
> memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space.
> To reduce the request size (currently 1499136 bytes), reduce
> PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 64) and/or
> its max_connections parameter (currently 32).
>
> The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
> shared memory configuration.
I realise that to some extent the answer may lie in the error message but I
have read other threads about Win 2003 and I wanted to make sure that I
wasn't going down the wrong route by trying to adjust the parameters listed.
Also could somebody explain why I get the error message as a service but not
when postmaster is run as a separte program?
Many thanks
Nick
