I downloaded the newest update of HM1 and installed it. I have also rebooted my comp several times and continue to receive the same error message. It won't load up and open completely after i click the desktop icon.

I receive the following error message from a gray pop up window:
The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to 'database'.

then after i click ok some connect to postre window then pops up. after clicking connect it tells me HEM was unable to start the service

please help. thanks

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

First try to reboot.

If no help, try this:

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it. And reboot.


If that doesn't help you will have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely
