    Default Can't connect to postgreSQL

    Hi,
    No matter what i try, i can't connect to postgresql. I went through the faq and followed the tedious steps of disabling all the firewalls, and uninstalling/reinstalling postgresql but it made no difference.

    Everything worked fine on friday, i'm not sure why it doesn't work now.

    Any ideas?

    I have the exact same problem. Been using HEM for 3 months now and today for some reason keeps telling me I cant connect to my postgresql database.

    I've already tried FAQ ID # 34 and its been no help.

    Heres some info that may help in trouble shooting the problem.

    - I use Vista Pro 64bit. I have UAC turned off and all the HEM exe's are set as 'run as admin'

    - I use postgres 8.3

    - I have the Vista firewalls disabled and I dont have anti virus turned on.

    - I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling HEM.

    This issue will be resolved if you follow the FAQ exactly, if you skipped a step or disabled a firewall/antivirus instead of completely uninstalling it then it wont work. It is tedious but moreso if you dont follow it exactly as youll just need to do it twice then

    Unfortunately Vista seems to cause this problem when updating windows etc hopefully they get a fix out soon

    Default What FAQ should be followed?

    I already fallowed FAQ #171, and it made no difference. I followed it exactly step by step.

    Is there another procedure i should take?

    I'm also using windows vista, 64-bit.

    Latest version of HM and postgresql 8.3

    I have exactly the same problem. I have followed all instructions. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Postgres 8.3.

    Seems like me and you have the exact same problem. PM me if you get your HEM working

    I've just tried FAQ 171 also and didnt solve anything.
    I've also tried the 1.08 beta and nothing.

    Ok, I thought I'd better give you my exact problem in case it is slightly different.

    I am using HEM 1.07.01.
    Postgres 8.3 (which I have just uninstalled and reinstalled)

    When I try to open HEM I get the message

    "The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to 127.0.0.1"


    I then get the message "Holdem Manager has detected you are running VISTA. Please turn off UAC"

    UAC is definitely turned off already.

    I went to control panel admin/services.

    Postgres 8.3 is STARTED - and remains that way. I tried stopping/starting/restarting. It stays as STARTED but the problem remains.

    Hope this helps.

    Based on some advice on 2+2, I tried the following. No success. Same problem.


    To fix my earlier botched installation, this is what I did.

    Uninstall SQL, and delete all traces of: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL.

    Then:

    From the Start menu select Run. Type COMMAND to open a DOS window. Type the following:

    net user postgres /delete

    and hit ENTER. Then type EXIT to close the DOS window.


    Now a reboot would prolly be wise, before starting the SQL install again.
