[postgis] Installation on Windows 2000 using Cygwin

Hello,

I am trying to install Postgresql 7.1.3 on Windows 2000 and Cygwin, using t=
he binaries contained in Cygwin's postgresql 7.1.3 distribution, but I can'=
t get it running.

I have the binaries located in c:/cygwin/local/pgsql/bin.=20=20

After I unpacked the, I did the following:

I executed the ipc-daemon:
  Administrator@PHOENIX ~
  $ /usr/local/bin/ipc-daemon.exe &
  [1] 1516


I executed the initdb command:
  Administrator@PHOENIX /bin
  $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

Then I ran this command:
   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

At this point, I got a message that said: bash: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postma=
ster: No such file or directory

I don't see any program called postmaster in the postgresql archive, so I t=
ried substituting "POSTGRES" in place of "POSTMASTER", as in:
  $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

This generated the following response:
  $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data=20
  DEBUG:  database system was shut down at 2001-11-18 11:46:59
  DEBUG:  CheckPoint record at (0, 1563272)
  DEBUG:  Redo record at (0, 1563272); Undo record at (0, 0); Shutdown TRUE
  DEBUG:  NextTransactionId: 615; NextOid: 18720=20
  DEBUG:  database system is in production state
  FATAL 1:  Database "Administrator" does not exist in the system catalog.
  DEBUG:  shutting down
  DEBUG:  database system is shut down

All the documentation I have points to a program called postmaster, but I d=
on't see this program located in the distribution.  I also tried downloadin=
g the distribution from two different locations, but I still do not see the=
 postmaster program.

Another strange thing is that I tried to create a postgres user in Windows =
2000, then logged in as that user.  However, when I started Cygwin, I still=
 had the "Administrator@PHOENIX", instead of postgres@PHOENIX prompt.

Thanks,

Doug Van Auken
