Re: Postgresql under cygwin just stopped working.

I just installed postgres 7.4.3 on a win2000, here the default max
connections was set to 40, thanks anyway.

Installing on the win2000 gave me a problem and I found one of your
mail/replies from the 1/7/2004
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.cygwin/2502) I have
the precise same error and the only thing I can see that might course it
is that I was forced to install cygwin in e:\cygwin and not in c:\cygwin.
Is there anywhere I can set the -l parameter to postmaster like with
pq_ctl or is there a other way around this problem?

Regards,
Martin
