Hi, I installed cygwin on a w2k3 server (with sp2). It worked fine for a while and then we began getting permission denied on /bin/bash.
To try and solve the problem I tried to uninstall and reinstall cygwin... I had lots of problems with the reinstallation process. It would not recreate the service and the service user .... finally I deleted just about any related key from the registry and things improved slightly.... the config process started to create the service and also created the user but then I get the following error message: cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenService: Win32 error 1073: The specified service already exists. when I run cygrunsrv -L - I get the following error: cygrunsrv: Error enumerating services: QueryServiceConfig: Win32 error 2: The system cannot find the file specified. I can't see the service itself in the service list, nor can I find it in the registry... I'm at my end's wit... Rebooting the server is a last resort since this is a prod server.... Any solutions?
