Обсуждение: Error after typing "psql"

Hi!!
I just installed PostgreSQL in a MSW98 using cygwin. When I type 'psql' I get a message saying
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
What can I do to solve this problem?

You have to start the postmaster with -i, or enable tcp sockets in
postgresql.conf, then use -h localhost in psql.  This will be fixed in
7.5.
