I have had 2 different versions of postgres installed (because a while ago I was required to to convert a PT2 db) but everything has worked fine for months and months with PT3 and today I tried to log in and now it only says (in the players tab)

Unable to log into database. Reason: could not connect to server. Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host localhost and accepting tcp/ip connections on port 5432.

So when I go into the postgres admin and look at the localhost:5432 it is not connected or running. Is this the problem? If so how do I fix it when I try to connect it asks for a password that I dont know and when I click start service it doesnt seem to do anything.

Ay help would be great

and I tried everything mentioned in the FAQ and not working .....

My postgres 8.2 runs fine but 8.3 just will not start service at all

if pgadmin asks for a password, it would seem something is running... open an admin command prompt and type

Code: Select all

netstat -a

see if port 5432 is "listening"

5432 does not show up in the command prompt

That just means the PostgreSQL database server is not started (or any other database listening on port 5432).

Start the PostgreSQL service via Start->Programs->PostgreSQL then send me your last three PostgreSQL log files via the support system.

PM me with your Ticket # once submitted and I'll look at it immediately.

Best regards,

when I go to start service it opens up the dos screen and the service is starting followed by a lot of . . . . . . . . . . . . . for a few minutes then goes away although it appears to not actually start.

Also, where do I find the log files for this?

Looks like they might be in ...
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\pg_log

thank you

APerfect10 is trying to help me through the support system but in the meantime does anyone else have any suggestions?
