Andreas and all,
Thanks to all the people who have tried to help. I think my biggest mistake wasn't signing up here as soon as I started this project.
I'm going back to try and install and run PGSQL 7.4.3 on WinXP Home using CYGWIN. First, I want to learn a little more about the UNIX syntax since I will ultimately be putting my database on a Linux based server. Second, my guess is there is a much larger knowledge base here given that method has been around for quite some time.
I used Carlo's tutorial as my base source of knowledge...
initdb faltered until Carlo suggested I do the following in addition to his online tutorial:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/postgres
chmod 755 /usr/bin/postmaster
chown postgres /usr/bin/postgres
chown postgres /usr/bin/postmaster
I enter this at the same time I enter
chown postgres /var/postgresql/data
in Carlo's tutorial.
When I do all the above (including everyithing in Carlo's tutorial):
initdb -D /var/postgresql/data
works just fine.
However, when I type in the three lines of code
cygrunsrv --install postmaster ... --shutdown
in his tutorial I get the following error:
cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenService: win32 error 1073: The specified service exists already.
When I type in
cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenService: win32 error 1073: The specified service exists already.
When I type in
cygrunsrv: --start postmaster
I get the following error:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1069: The service did not start due to logon failure
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1069: The service did not start due to logon failure
Carlo suggested I try
pg-ctl start -D /cygdrive/c/postgresql/data -l logfile
and I will do so shortly and let everyone know the results.
Also, if I'm using cygserver, do i need to install cygipc, too?
Thanks.

I know only the cygwin way, yet, but this doesn't matter.
Even a service can be manually started, if you define it as "manual"
instead of "automatic" in the service-dialoge of Windows.
Set postmaster to "manual" and start it afterwards in a cmd-window with
NET START postmaster
use
NET STOP postmaster
to ... well ... stop it ;)
I guess postmaster wouldn't be peed off even if you let it run into
system shutdown since Windows will stop running services automatically.
