Larry -- You've partially diagnosed my problem for me.
Here's what's going on (in detail):
I've taken over admin on development (DEV) and production (PROD) boxes for
a small website. DEV is W2K and PROD is Linux. The app running on the
servers in Java-based, and it connects to a Postgres DB.
The PROD box (which is running fine) is running Postgres 7.2.
The DEV box WAS running fine, until I started up pg_ctl without first
"ipc-daemon", resulting in 100% CPU utilization. Thinking that there was
something wrong with the installation (vim was broken, and I was getting
some other strange behavior every time I typed a new command in the Cygwin
command line) I decided to execute the setup.exe file, trying to be very
careful not to over-write the Postgres 7.2 installation I had on DEV.
After having to go through the install process three or four times, the
last time I accidentally over-wrote the 7.2 install I had on DEV with
version 7.4.5-1.
But, since PROD is working fine (v. 7.2), I want to get DEV running again
with the same (7.2) version. Once that's done and I understand the setup
in the DEV and PROD environments, I'll upgrade to more up to date
version.s
I hope that better explains why I'm looking for version 7.2. Any pointers
on where to obtain it would be helpful. I looked for the "Cygwin Time
Machine", and while I found references, I can't find any working sites
which have old tar.bz2 setup files for Cygwin.
Rgs,
