As I had a backup of the databases I dropped the data folder and made a
initdb, trying with both ipc-daemon and cygserver. When starting
postgresql with ipc-daemon I got the same error, but starting with
cygserver got me a little on the move with semmns and semmni error
indications. When I changed the max_connections from 100 to 45 I was
able
to start postgresql and restore my databases from my backups. Could this
have something to do with the Windows "secure" update from Microsoft?
Regards,
Martin
