[snipity snip snip]
Notwithstanding all the previous discussion. I still think there is a
problem with postgresql on windows.
Messages in the log are consistently of the form:
2009-06-23 08:28:26 EST WARNING: worker took too long to start; cancelled
FATAL: could not reattach to shared memory (key=252, addr=023F0000): 487
2009-06-23 08:35:58 EST WARNING: worker took too long to start; cancelled
FATAL: could not reattach to shared memory (key=252, addr=023F0000): 487
Postgres is actually usable if I restart the service after the machine
has booted up. This fixes the problem triggering the error message:
"Error connecting to the server: server closed the connection unexpectedly.
This probably means that the server terminated abnormally before or
while processing the request."
However the above messages are still appearing.
Personally I have no issues with the installation process. Although I
am the first to admit that sometimes I forget to check the log file
and the event files. I get used to Linux.
Regards
Andrew
