upgraded PostgreSQL to the latest version and it would start no more. I've
perused the archives and collected all remedies I've found. Most notably:
- I had fixed the / and /bin permissions previously and made sure they're still
ok
- I made my postgres user account own the binary
- I've removed the cygipc and cygipc2 services
- I've installed cygserver and made sure it is actually started
- Needless to say, I've rebooted the box too
No matter what I do, I'm now stuck with the following error. For test purposes I
logged in to my postgres account and started postmaster manually with
postmaster -d5 -D /usr/share/postgresql/data
[lots of DEBUG messages]
DEBUG: invoking IpcMemoryCreate(size=10461184)
Bad system call
As I got stuck here I desperately tried various things, among them removing
cygserver and starting cygipc2 again and downgrading to the previous PostgreSQL
version. All this does not help a bit. I've not yet tried to downgrade
cygwin1.dll to the previous version (1.5.11 vs. 1.5.12).
Can anyone throw me a ring here?
