Omaha Manager Question

[MattSLY]

I'm currently a PT3 user now and I was wondering if I could still purchase Omaha manager and use it on the same computer that I use my PT3 (will there be some kind of PostgreSQL conflict?)? Also, I was wondering if there was any sort of deal for purchasing both Hold'em and Omaha mangers together (small stakes editions)?

You can use the same Postgresql installation. You only need to create a new database for HM.

For product bundles please check our homepage: www.holdemmanager.net or contact sales@holdemmanager.net

Thanks for the reply.

How do you create a second database?

I remember when I downloaded the trial version of HEM a long time ago. When I installed it, it tried to change the password to my original PT3 PostgreSQL database and I'm afraid of messing things up if I try to install Omaha manger. How can I learn how to install Omaha manager along side PT3 without screwing things up?

HM will guid you thru the process of making your first Db when installing it.

If you created a unique name and password during install, you will need to enter that now.

PT3's default name/password is - postgres/dbpass
HM's default name/password is - postgres/postgrespass

svcpass is another possibility


Go to your command function (for Vista users, type cmd in search) and type net user. This will show you which user groups are on your pc.

Net user will tell you what the user is on your machine.

If you still can't get connected thru HM you can either try to remove the password requirement entirely.


Start > Programs > PostgreSQL 8.3 > Configuration Files > Edit pg_hba.conf

The file should open with Notepad

Scroll to the bottom where you will see this code




# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 md5


You need to change the first 'md5' to 'trust', like this




# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 md5



Save, and close the file.

Click: Start > Programs > PostgreSQL 8.3 > Reload configuration

One other question about purchasing Omaha Manager...If I purchased Omaha Manager now and then HEM later is there...

1. a deal for doing it in that order?

2. any problems created by doing it in that order?

[netsrak]

1. there is an upgrade option. Please contact sales@holdemmanager.net

2. you get a new key, restart HM, activate with the new key and its working

Net user will tell you what the user is on your machine.



Why do I need to find out what the user name is?

I'm on Windows XP fwiw.

That is just general cut/paste instructions for finding your postgres user account if you had named it something unconventional, and didnt necessarily apply to your situation. The main part of that post was about clearing your postgres password.
