Обсуждение: PGSQL 8-beta for WinXP Home Edition Instructions
Can anybody help get me started here? I've downloaded the 8-beta .msi file and ran set up on my XP Home laptop. Now I have no clue what to do.
I followed Carlo's web tutorial and got almost all the way through the Cygwin install for 7.4.3 (many, many times), but, alas, I ended here...
------------------------
When I type in the three lines of code - cygrunsrv --install postmaster ... --shutdown, I get the following error:
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.
------------------------
That's when I quite that route and went with the version 8-beta. The only problem is, I haven't seen any instructions that make a lick of sense to me.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I really want to standardize on PGSQL rather than MySQL, but this whole painful process has left my head ringing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will post a tutorial of what I did to get PGSQL up and running if I'm able to do it. If not, I guess I have to go with MySQL even though I would prefer not to go that route.
TIA...
