Hi,

I installed postgres 8.4 on my computer. I also moved my DB on anouther harddisk and changed the pointer in the Register to the new location of the Data file. Now I cant get my Postgres to start anymore.

I also changed the Regestry pointer back to the default adress (c:\program files\...\data) to see if it works with the default Data file, but that doesnt work either.

then I tried installing postgres new, and in the installation I enter the adress of my DB. that didnt work either.

Searched the web after solutions to my problem, but couldnt find any. any suggestions?

The DB you moved was an 8.4 DB?

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) If you are moving the DB to a different drive/partition, manually cut or copy the \Postgresql\data directory to it's new location.
3) run the command - start > run > cmd >

net user postgres /delete
4) reboot.
5) Install the same version of PostgreSQL as your current DB using these instructions - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177

Make sure you use the 8.4 sql installer and not the 8.3

6) If you have moved/installed your DB to a non-default location, please make sure to change the 'Data Directory' path during the installation.
