Possible problems to look for in order and how to fix:
1) Make sure there is a "startup" script in the area directory and that it's executable.
$ ls -l startup
-rwx–x–x+ 1 jlambert None 690 Mar 17 1996 startup
2) If the executable bits (x) don't show up, you have to set them.
$ chmod +x startup
Note: On Vista, You may have to run cygwin shell as admin if you can't change permissions.
3) startup might be a c-shell script and you don't have tcsh installed.
To check…
$ head -n1 startup
#!/bin/csh
That's a c-shell script above
To check if tcsh package is installed…
$ cygcheck -c tcsh
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
tcsh 6.15.00-4 OK
If not run cygwin setup program, find it, select it and install it.
4) Lastly if you edited the startup script with an editor that doesn't preserve unix style line-endings like notepad, and inserts carriage returns
you need to remove them.
The DOS to Unix conversion progam is one way to do it…
$ d2u startup
startup: done.
It's in the cygutils package.
$ cygcheck -c cygutils
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
cygutils 1.3.2-1 OK
Don't have that? Run setup and go install it.

This is the bit I have to do.
How do I install just that package without having to re-install all of Cygwin?

steps to take to install new packages while retaining your current packages.
1. run cygwinsetup.exe
2. click next
3. install from internet and click next
4. click next till you get to the choose a download site screen and pick one then click next
5. find the package you want (for tcsh look under shells) and click the numbers next to the weird symbol till it says install
6. repeat till you get all the packages selected (the more packages you select at one time the longer it takes)
7. click next and it'll install the new packages
I didn't wanna actually install anything so I'm not clicking next but you can figure out anything else there might be. This may take a little time with a dialup connection but it's not gonna be as bad as the first time unless you select a bunch of packages to install.
My advice is to install only what you absolutely need at the moment and then eventually install other things one or two at a time as time permits. Good luck.

Installing and Updating Cygwin
The latest net releases of the Cygwin DLL are numbered 1.n.x, where "n" is currently "5" (e.g., 1.5.25). Any Cygwin program built from December 1998 onward should work correctly with 1.n.x DLLs.
The 1.n.x version numbering refers only to the Cygwin DLL. Individual packages like bash, gcc, less, etc. are released independently of the DLL. The setup.exe utility tracks the versions of all installed components and provides the mechanism for installing or updating everything available from this site for Cygwin.
The signature for setup.exe can be used to verify the validity of this binary using this public key.
Run setup.exe any time you want to update or install a Cygwin package.
Note that, when installing packages for the first time, setup.exe does not install every package. Only the minimal base packages from the Cygwin distribution are installed by default. Clicking on categories and packages in the setup.exe package installation screen will provide you with the ability to control what is installed or updated. Clicking on the "Default" field next to the "All" category will provide you with the opportunity to install every Cygwin package. Be advised that this will download and install hundreds of megabytes to your computer. The best plan is probably to click on individual categories and install either entire categories or packages from the categories themselves.
Once you've installed your desired subset of the Cygwin distribution, setup.exe will remember what you selected so rerunning the program will update your system with any new package releases.

I keep looking and looking, and while I'd be overjoyed to be corrected on this, it seems to me they're all the same - very limited. I just started using PuTTy myself, and it's main advantage is so many others use it, you can get help when you need it.
Lately I've been using the free WinSCP program to edit files on the server. It lets you set external editor associations, so I can edit things with my favorite Windows programs, even the HTML and .jpegs.
However, if you edit the file at home, then FTP it to the server to compile, you got yourself instant off-site back-up. :wink:

This is the error I get trying to use my startup script on the server. The server has Fedora 8.

You need to set the startup script as having execute permission, via chmod. Try entering "chmod u+x startup".

Also (Lobotomy is entirely correct, this is just an addition) I'd suggest running the startup script in the background by tacking an & onto the end of the line.

Doh, so it does, I glanced and saw the following line, "[1]+ Exit 126 ./startup 9999", and didn't see three lines above it where it was there.

Depends on the hosting.
You might also look at the thread titled something like "Ssol's newbie department of "oh crap!"" because he's asked some similar questions you might find some helpful info in there.
