Re: sygserver fails with "failed to create named pipe, fatal error on IPC transport"

Hi,

How did you install cygwin? The cygwin setup installer has an option to installer for all users - selecting that made cygserver work for me (using XP Pro, sp1). How is cygwin installed on your machine?

Dear List,

Thanks to earlier help from you all, I went back and installed the proper
cygserver for the new 7.4.3. But I cannot get it to run. I see in the
README that :

""On Windows NT/2000/XP or 2003, you should always run Cygserver as a
service under LocalSystem account. This is the way it is installed
for you by the /usr/bin/cygserver-config script."

I am running WinXP Pro. But I do not know how to do this (sorry, a real
Windows beginner), could someone please talk me through it? I presume this
is the cause of the failure described below.

Thanks very much,

David

ps,

I have been through the readme for cygserver and postgresql install and
checked permissions and added both CYGWIN and CYGSERVER to Windows system
environment variable with value of server. If I just try to start up cygserver:

$cygserver <i.e. started with no parameters>
cygserver: Initialization complete. Waiting for requests.
cygserver: failed to create named pipe: is the daemon already running?
cygserver: fatal error on IPC transport: closing down"
