Thread: shmdt error
Hello, When I run postmaster, the first line of the log is this: shmdt (0x1330000) failed: Invalid Argument After that the program goes on and successfully start the database. I can then log in using psql, but not with something else, like pgAdmin. I did search the mailing list archives and found a post saying it is because of an old version of ipc (or something like that). I completely reinstalled cygwin and postgres and everything related to it, but I still get this error. Any suggestion is appreciated, thanx.

AFAICT, you can ignore the above error. I started to notice errors like the above sometime in the past, but they never affected PostgreSQL's operation so I ignored them myself. > I can then log in using psql, but not with something else, like > pgAdmin. Your pgAdmin problem is most likely unrelated. Did you start postmaster with the -i option (to enable TCP/IP sockets)? IIRC, pgAdmin does not use Unix domain sockets.

Hi, Thanks, I didn't have the -i parameter, it works now.
