PostgresSQL Server 8.4 Error Message

[sidGucci]

For some reason out of the blue, I'm unable to open Holdem Manager.

I receive an error message that I am unable to connect on port 5432.

I've been looking around the forum to try and troubleshoot this myself but running into hurdles.

I went to Services/PostGresSQLServer and clicked Start Services

Error Message: Windows could not start the PostgreSQL Server 8.4 service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.

When I right click and select properties: The Start Parameters: box is empty

This is usually a firewall or windows update issue.

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. And reboot.


If that doesn't help you will have to reinstall PostgreSQL completely
