HEM Stops Working Suddenly

[graha0011]

I was using my HEM normally today (I made a few changes to my HUD configuration, otherwise nothing out of the ordinary) and after a restart of my machine I started getting the "Failed to establish connection to 127.0.0.1" message.

I have tried ALL of the remedies for Vista users in the current FAQ, including uninstalling and successfully reinstalling postgresql 8.3.6., to no avail. Are there any other potential remedies I can try? I can't seem to find anything relevant in the postgre documentation.

Thanks in advance.

I just want to reiterate that I've tried all of the Windows Defender and Firewall access remedies that are suggested in the various FAQs online.

Also, if I'm willing to risk losing my current database, is there a way to reinstall everything from scratch? (I've reinstalled both HEM and Postgre - but I'm still trying to connect to the existing DB)

I have the exact same problem (and have had it before)

The problem is that this time i can't seem to find any Postgre problem (which caused this error the last time), as the service starts automaticly, and i can stop/start it again without any problem.

This sound like what I am experiencing - My Postgre is starting up automatically and has always been running when I've checked - still I've tried all the start/stop restart steps suggested in the various FAQs.

Hmm, just used some time looking more into this, and it might be af PostgreSQL error after all. It's not only HEM that can't connect, i can't connect to the server through pgAdmin 3 either.

Any suggestions to what might cause this?

I'm (probably) experiencing the same problem. HEM has been working before, but today I came back from 3 days holiday and I cannot start it anymore! As far as I know, nothing has changed in my computer. Weird.

Thanks for the suggestion for more research... if I figure anything out obviously I'll share.

My previous message wasn't very clear, here's some more info.

I removed F-Secure, disabled Windows firewall & defender, uninstalled Postgre & reinstalled it (newest), etc., just as suggested in http://208.109.95.123/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=171 . Doesnt' work: "The following error occured when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1.'. I've had a similar problem before, but then the solution was to "stop server" & "start server". Now it doesn't work.

Following that FAQ almost always solves that issue, the thing is people regularly skip or half do steps and then it dosent work. It dosent look like you skipped any steps however if i do a teamviewer session i would just be repeating the instructions of the FAQ so if you want to try it again to be sure and then email me morny@holdemmanager.net and we can do a teamviewer session, before we start the session can you have firewalls/antiviruses/postgreSQL and HM uninstalled and the downloads saved to a folder somewhere so i can install

Thanks for your reply. I'll go over everything again tomorrow and shoot you an email if I'm unsuccessful.

Hi, I am encountering the same problems. I've followed every step in the FAQ but still could not get it to work.
