cannot connect to 127.0.0.1

[varunc182]

As soon as I start HEM, I get the following alert: "The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to 127.0.0.1"

I have tried to start stop the service but no luck. Please help...I am lost here.

Did you try to reboot your computer?

None of these options have resolved my problem. Is it possible to set up a remote session with the Support team? I have been without HEM for weeks now and this is a problem.

I dont have much time today, and probably wouldn't be able to fit you in until tomorrow afternoon/evening. To try and schedule something sooner, please contact my support manager.

Please email fabio@holdemmanager.net, with a link to this thread, and your forum name, so you can schedule a Teamviewer session. Download and install the www.Teamviewer.com Quick Support version.

Okay I just sent a message to the email address you referenced. I am located on US EST and am available at any point today.

1. Go to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x\data and look for a file called
"postmaster.pid". If you see it, delete it. (Do NOT delete any other file)
2. Start the PostgreSQL service by going to Control Panel ->
Administrative Tools -> Services.
