Hey all,
I just finished building a new PC and did a fresh install of HM2 8470 and PostgreSQL 8.4 from the bundle available for download on the HM website.
Previously I'd installed my iPoker client so that the auto import paths would be available for HM2 configuration.
Both the poker client and HM2 are executed as Administrator.
Poker client, database and HM2 are installed on C:\ (SSD).
HM2 Archive and the parent folder for HM databases are located on D:\ (HDD).
Upon first start of HM2 I refused the offered beta update, entered my license key, and created the standard "Holdem Manager 2" database.
I entered Site Setup to configure Auto Import Folders, Hand Time Adjustment and Preferred Seating for iPoker.
The site displays the green checkmark, confirming correct settings.
All normal so far, like the six or eight times I'd installed HM2 on various drives previously.
I then proceeded to restore my previously saved HM2 databases (backed up 4 das ago) into new databases, to be created on the D:\ drive.
However .....
..... the restore process immediately terminated (as if it had been completed), and "Ready" was being displayed at the left bottom corner of the HM2 window.
But no new database had been created, no data had been restored.
I repeated the process, paying extra attention to source and destination paths.
The result was the same: HM2 stated it was ready, but no restore had been executed.
I checked postgreSQL settings and tested connectivity to the server before attempting yet another restore ... with the same result.
So I uninstalled first HM2 and then postgreSQL, rebooted and installed the bundle again.
To no avail.
As a final step, I imported a few hundred hands into the existing "Holdem Manager 2" database, made sure they were accessible in the Active Session and Reports tabs, and then attempted to create a backup of the database.
The backup was executed by HM2 without problems.
:confused:
But when I attempted to restore this backup into a new database "Test", again HM immediately terminated the restore operation and proclaimed itself "Ready" at the bottom left of the screen.
Since I have no idea what to try next, I hope somebody can help restore four years' worth of hands into my new HM2 installation.
Cheers,
kos
