Hello everyone.
I went to reinstall my WinXP this morning and since I have a 82Gb database I figured I might skip the dump/restore part and instead just keep the database intact on the disk and reinstall PostgreSQL to the same place as stated here: http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177.
It didn't work, instead I got the message "The PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 service on Local Computer started then stopped." I did some research on the forums and tried http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=34, http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=171 and http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8261. Neither fixed the problem. However, when following steps detailed in http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8261, I could get HoldemManager to connect in step 5, but it failed to connect in step 9. S.O.L.
I have also tried wiping Windows clean again, installing only the video and motherboard drivers and service pack 2, and installing postgre immediately after, but it still didn't work when I installed it over the existing database.
So, is there anything else I can do to get PostgreSQL working or at least get my data back? Like, is there a way to dump or import a database which isn't connected?
