Ok this is the second time in a few months this has happened. Last time I was forced to reinstall everything and import like a million hands and I'm not doing that again, it's just not happening.

I updated the PS client as it made me right before I started HM.

Also when I logged on my windows 7 system this morning a message said there was a conflict with some file or program in conflict with c:\programs and it asked me if I wanted to rename it, I said yes.

Please help.

edit: after going through the manually trying to and holdem manager needs to start the service it says it failed to then another screen says it has started the service. still no connection.


I have already tried all this:
http://forums.holdemmanager.com/manager-bugs/5561-failed-establish-connection-127-0-0-1-a-12.html

it's not any nonsense about any firewall or uac, nothing like that changed at all on my pc.
thanks for any help.



edit: I am able to successfully ping my server 127.0.0.1, but also postgresql admin cannot connect to it.

wow it just fixed itself. Ok what I did exactly was go into phpadmin III and I just kept trying to connect by right clicking the connection and going to connect. I then right clicked and hit restart service, then tried to connect and it worked.

Thank god!

Below are my steps that Ii try when this happens:

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Can't Connect / Failed to Start PostgreSQL (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/91/Can't+Connect+%7B47%7D+Failed+to+Start+PostgreSQL+ )

First try to reboot.

If no help, try this:

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Stop Service

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL > 8.x > Start Service

If that doesnt help delete the \postgresql\8.x\data\postmaster.pid file, if you see it.

Add exceptions to the windows firewall, even if it is off. If you have a 3rd party firewall, do the equivalent or uninstall it temporarily - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Windows Firewall / Defender Problems (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/275/Windows+Firewall+%7B47%7D+Defender+Problems)

Please try following these FAQs, step by step:

1) FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Can't Connect / Failed to Start PostgreSQL (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/91/Can't+Connect+%7B47%7D+Failed+to+Start+PostgreSQL+ )
2) reinstall the same version of postgresql, using the same \data folder - FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Reinstall PostgreSQL Preserving Old Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/71/Reinstall+PostgreSQL+Preserving+Old+Database)
3) Still Can't Connect to PosgreSQL? Try This! - Holdem Manager Forums (http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8261)

If that doesn't help you will probably have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely and reimport your hands using these instructions

1) Uninstall PostgreSQL from the Windows Control Panel.
2) Use our combo installer to reinstall PostgreSQL. Make sure you un-check Holdem Manager during installation. http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Holdem_Manager_Setup.exe

If that installer fails to install PostgreSQL, please reinstall PostgreSQL using the following instructions:
A) Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > Right-Click > Run As Administrator

net user postgres /delete
B) Reboot.
C) Try installing this version of PostgreSQL - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/Postgres_8.3.9-v1.0.7.exe
