Hi,

This is the first time I tried to use PostgreSQL (on Windows 2000). I
downloaded everything in binary by "Default" (and everything in Admin, Base,
and Database). The Cygwin DLL version is 1.5.5-1 and the database is version
7.4.1.

Then I downloaded a binary version of cygipc-1.14-1 and did the following:
(a) cd /
(b) tar -jxvf cygipc-1.14-1.tar.bz2
(c) ipc-daemon &

No matter what, whenever I tried to initialize PostgreSQL,  I always get the
following error. Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

$ initdb -W -D /my_data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"Administrator
".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
