The following error occured when trying to open the database: failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1

it then gopes to the connect to postgreSQL bit.

click connect and says:

A connection to postsql could not be made. qould you like to have holdem manager attempt to start the service?

Any help would be appreciated

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:
