when i try n start up HEM im getting the following message:

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

It then goes to the database control panel for PostgresSQL

when i hit CONNECT it says: A connection to PostgreSQL could not be made. Would you like to have Holdem Manager attempt to start the service?

If i hit yes it says: Holdem Manager has started the service, please try again

how can i fix this??

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

I cant find that file, when i click on PostgresSQL8.3 my options are


Application Stack Builder
Command Prompt
PGAdminIII
Psql to 'postgres'
Reload configuration
Start Service
Stop service
Configuration Files (folder)
Documentatio (folder)

The file is in the Program Files(x86)\PostgreSQL\8.3\data folder

If the steps above don't fix it, install PostgreSQL 8.4. to port 5433.
