Hi, I have a new notebook PC that runs Windows 7. I'm wondering I'm getting message because I'm trying to install all this while in the hospital on their wireless network. Maybe they don't have the right ports open on their server for PostgreSQL to install? On trying install both HEM and PostgreSQL I got this error message in the details tab:

Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting

Can you download postgresql from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org)

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.

And manually install it. Try 8.3 if 8.4 doesn't install properly.
