Ok, looks my non-attachment attempt worked. So I'll repeat something I
asked in private:
I have spent the better part of the afternoon digging back thru the last
4 months of postings. One thing caught my eye.
Jason, you mention repeatedly about a file
/tmp/cygipc_0
But I have yet to see that file on XP (where PostgreSQL is NOT working)
_OR_ Windows 2000 (where the exact same install IS working). All I see
are the /tmp/MultiFile* files.
Is this file you mention still valid now? And if so, how do you explain
the Windows 2000 box working properly? I'm confused.
Or does the /tmp/cygipc_0 only show up when postmaster itself is run,
kind of like a PID file or other filelocking mechanism? Please note I
have only been working thus far with the test command 'ipctest s' and
the 'initdb' command. I have yet to fire up postgres itself yet.
