Hi there, I'm running the lastest beta edition of the omaha manager version of the software, on a vista machine and with postgresql v 8.3.
I'm getting the usual 127.0.0.1 error messages regarding postgresql not connecting, but i then seem to get a circular series of error messages once the database control panel comes up. I've tried following the advice in the FAQS and various threads, but to no avail.
Firstly I click connect, and it tells me a connection could not be made, and would i like HEM to attempt to start the service. I click ok and it tells me HEM has started the service and asks me to try again. This takes me back to the database control panel.
I go back to the database manager, try to connect, and the get the first error message. However, I then get a new second error message telling me HEM was unable to start the service. I OK this, but then immediately get the message telling me HEM has started the service and to try again, which again brings up the database control panel. there seems to be no way out of this loop of error messages, and I can't even get the main HEM window open.
Now, when I went into the control panel > admin tools > services menu and tried to start postgresql manually it basically tried for a few minutes, then said that it couldn't start it because it didn't "respond in a timely manner". So I can't seem to get postgresql to start at all, which I think is the problem. Any idea as to how to sort this? I don't mind reinstalling if need be, since i can always just re-import the hands, but I'm not sure this would fix the problem.
EDIT: I can't get postgresql to start at all, even when i try to get it going manually from the run menu.
