Hi,

Can't open HM, don't know why.
I've stopped and started the service PostgreSQL 8.3
I've uninstalled and reinstalled PostgreSQL 8.3 and still the same message:

The following error occurred when trying to open the database: Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1'.

what shall I do next to resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Vasco

Solutions:
1. Reboot your computer
2. If that doesn't help look for the hidden system file postmaster.pid in the postgresql data folder, delete it and reboot your computer again.
3. Check the postgresql service in the windows services (control panel->administration). Sometimes it helps to change the Logon As.. to "local system account"
4. Check our FAQ:

Ok, thanks, the second solution worked just fine!
I've deleted the file (in PostgreSQL 8.3, 8.4, and 9.1), rebooted, and now HM is opening correctly.
