HM wont work

[ebla]

Hi,

I cant seem to get HM to work. I have postgresql installed since I have used pokertracker earlier. Do I need to install it again? No matter what I try I cant get HM to start auto importing and HUD wont show up. I am using Vista. How can I solve this?

Please verify that UAC is still off. - http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=73. If it is on, please turn it off and reboot.

Uninstall any firewalls and internet security software temporarily, tilyou get HM working. Then u can reinstall and add exceptions for HM/SQL.

Please update to the latest beta - http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe.


You should be able to connect to your existing postgresql installation.

PT3's default name/password is - postgres/dbpass
HM's default name/password is - postgres/postgrespass


If that password isn't right, you can try using svcpass, or postgrespass.


If neither of those work, you can remove the need for a password by editing the pg_hba.conf file.

Start > Programs > PostgreSQL 8.3 > Configuration Files > Edit pg_hba.conf

The file should open with Notepad

Scroll to the bottom where you will see this code

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5
# IPv6 local connections:
#host    all         all         ::1/128               md5 

You need to change the first 'md5' to 'trust', like this

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
#host    all         all         ::1/128               md5 

Save, and close the file.
