Hi,
I've been trying to install the latest PostgreSQL 7.2Dev snapshot in Cygwin
running on Windows 2000 Pro. The source configured and compiled perfectly,
but initdb gives the following output:
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
Fixing permissions on existing directory /data72... ok
creating directory /data72/base... ok
creating directory /data72/global... ok
creating directory /data72/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /data72/pg_clog... ok
creating template1 database in /data72/base/1... FATAL 1: data directory
/data72 has group or world access; permissions should be u=rwx (0700)
I have tried chmod'ing 0700 & u+rwx with no success (ls -al shows no change
in permissions) and I've tried tweaking permissions from Explorer also to no
effect.
/etc/passwd has been updated to be safe, and I also have Jason's prebuilt
7.1.3 initdb'ing and running perfectly well on the same Cygwin installation
(obviously different directories/ports etc though).
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
