During the end of the download for ProstgreSQL it stops abrubtly with an error saying "Internal account lookup failure: no mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

also, if it helps at all, the installation point when this error comes up its in the "Creating user account..." phase.

What can I do??? PLZ HELP, i just bought this thing and it seems like the toughest software i eer had to config.. What am i doing wrong????

O.K. I GOT THIS UP AND RUNNING TODAY, ALL FIXED! :)

While downloading the Zip file? Extracting the Zip file? Or while running the installer after extraction?

Leave the domain name blank or try using a different/shorter name.

What version of PostgreSQL are you installing? The one from our FAQs? Or a different/older one?

I would suggest uninstalling it, or deleting any partially installed \postgresql folders/files, reboot and then install the newest version 8.4 of PostgreSQL.

That seems to be what cured it for most people in the search I did.

Which operating system?

It can be the problem that your computer name or domain name is too long.

What errors did you get?? Something about the username already exists? You can use any username you want, like hmpostgres, or w/e you want. Or you can delete the postgres user account when reinstalling.


Please update to the latest beta - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe.

Vista: Turn off UAC - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=73

Turn off Windows Firewall for installing HM and PostgreSQL. Once you get those installed you can add exceptions to the firewall. If you have a 3rd party firewall, uninstall it completely before installing HM/SQL - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171

For uninstalling SQL please follow these steps:

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) manually delete the Program Files\Postgresql folders
3) run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install PostgreSQL again, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall, using postgresql 8.4.0-1 - http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows

1. yes i got the user name errors, but got past that when making a diff. user name.
2. i run on XP and i installed the beta.
3.im not running a firewall or any 3rd party firewall
4. i uninstalled PostgreSQL completely from pc, reboot and installed 8.40-1. but with that i cant get past the 3rd step in instalation process when it asks for a password. it tells me "the password specified was incorrect.Please enter the correct password for postgres windows user account."

5. the issues/error messeges i have with the version of ProgreSQL that is in the instuctional FAQ is:
after i complete all the steps in the instruction guide i get the following error messege-"Internal account lookup failure: no mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

OK NM. I GOT THIS THING WORKING NOW. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME FELLA'S
