The above indicates that postmaster did not start up. I have seen
reports of the above error message before. Unfortunately, I have not
received definitive confirmation of a solution.
Does the following from the README help?
2. It is recommended to delete all cygipc temporary files
(/tmp/cygipc* and /tmp/MultiFile*) before starting postmaster under
a different user account. Otherwise, postmaster will fail to start
due to IPC errors. Note cygipc 2.x automatically removes these
files during normal shutdown so this issue has been essentially
obviated.
What PostgreSQL and cygipc versions are you running?
