Hi,
I know this discussion has been touched on many times here but, as far as I can tell, without satisfaction for me.
All I wish to do is place my "data" folder from HEM onto a "server" and map the folder to a drive letter (eg s: ).
I have done the following without success :-
1) Stopped the Postgres service.
2) Copied the "data" folder under "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3" to the new network share "data" folder.
3) Mapped the networked share as "s:\"
4) Checked access by going to "s:\data" - all files are there.
5) Followed this thread (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/336/How+do+I+setup+Holdem+Manager+to+share+one+databas e+between+two+computers%3F) to change the location of the destination file in the registry to "s:\data".
6) Tried to restart Postgres service. This is the sticking point. After several minutes of waiting while the service tries to start it always comes up with an error starting and this message in the event log "postgres cannot access the server configuration file "S:/data/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory"".
As I know this is not the case I wondered if anyone can shed a light on a solution. For the purposes of my testing I have enabled the share so that "everyone" has full control on the permissions front.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
James.
