Re: Postgresql 7.1.3 on Win98

Sushil,

In the future, please post to pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org instead of
sending private email, so others can benefit too.

I have succeeded in running PostgreSQL under Windows 98 about a year ago,
but I haven't tried recently.  Since I don't have any 9x/Me machines I
cannot pursue this further.

Are you experiencing the same problem as the attached?  If so, then please
work with the others (on the pgsql-cygwin list) who are experiencing this
9x/Me, Cygwin socket problem to try to solve it.

Thanks,

Hi,

I try to do work PostgreSql on window 98.
I had try and succes on winnt, but on windows 98 I have the following
message :
pq_flush: send() failed: The descriptor is a file, not a socket
pq_recvbuf: recv() failed: The descriptor is a file, not a socket

It's the postmaster that sais this.
The initdb script is ok.

I try with some several options
PGHOST, PGPORT, PGDATA, but any of this change the error.

In a strace command (strace -o psql.log psql -h 120.0.0.1 template1),
I found this message

  848  330060 [main] psql 526351 cygwin_socket: 3 = socket (2, 1, 0)
  654  330714 [main] psql 526351 cygwin_setsockopt: setsockopt optval=1

If you have any idea ???
thank a lot
