HEM is not launching for me.
I was getting the failed to connect error, so
I did all the UAC stuff & exception stuff for my security programs (this took me about an hour), then
I followed the Support FAQ thread which instructed me to reinstall postgresql.
First, I uninstalled postgresql 8.4, then
I attempted to reinstall postgresql using a 'setup package' link from a Support FAQ thread, but
that link turned out to be for a 8.3 installation, which is bad because I need 8.4, so I canceled it. Then,
I went looking for & found another Support FAQ thread titled 'PostgreSQL Install' that suggested I use the 'Combo Installer'. Since my HEM was in need update because I haven't been able to use it,
I downloaded the Combo Installer and proceeded to reinstall HEM & postgresql. This was going great!
Oh happy days! I thought I was seconds from having my HEM back and running again.
But.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
The installer stalled at the postgre installation with an error of unable to install. I thought, "no problem, I'll just cancel this install and see if my HEM works."
Ha, Ha, Ha. Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Now, after over two hours of working on this, I get the following error message..
The following error occurred when trying to open the database: FATAL: 28000: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
I hate error messages that contain the word 'fatal'. It's so negative.
HEM may be the single biggest contributor to my graying head of hair...
help pls:(
