Timeouts

[armonica]

I already added exceptions for postgres.exe and holdemmanager.exe to my firewall, and I created a new empty database.

When I start HM on the top line it shows DATABASE: MY_new database.

Whwn I open the Database Control Panel it shows 3 database:
holdemmanager (HoldemManager)
DB1 (which is the new empty database that I created)
MY_new database (HoldemManager) DEFAULT DATABASE

Are some of the changes you made to postgresql.conf still in effect?

Try installing SQL to a different portnumber.
I installed SQL 9.0 RC to port 5433 yesterday (to test if 9.0 would work for HM) and so far it seems really stable.

The changes I made to postgresql.conf are still there:
shared_buffers = 896MB
effective_cache_size = 1792MB

I also changed to port 5433 and I will be trying it today.

I wonder if I should try to make some change to this parameter:
authentication_timeout = 1min # 1s-600s

Tried with port 5433 but made no difference, timeout on the first try.

How about trying to change values in this string?
authentication_timeout = 1min # 1s-600s

You can try it but i don't think its the solution. Something on your computer is slowing down the connection between Postgresql and Holdemmanager.
Is your computer very old and slow?
Or is there anything else which might block network connections or use the same connections (like another database software)?

My computer is less than a year old and when I bought it was top of the line
with 8GB of RAM, and no I don't have any other database running.

At this point just for lack of alternatives I will try to change the timeout value, but should I increase it or decrease it?

Change shared_buffers = 896MB
effective_cache_size = 1792MB

back to default
