Troubles importing hands

[Dirkvanb]

Im having the follow error message when i try to import hands automaticly:

Unable to begin feeder import process. Reason: Unable to login to database (PT3 DB). 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?

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Same problem....just started tonight.....Software is getting a bit ridiculous........ So much potential.......Wouldve been nice to have a debugged version before the commercial release....

Please check the Postgres FAQ

i tried this :

unable to login to database (PT3_xxxx_xx_xx_xxxxxx) - reason:could not connect to server:connection refused(0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCPT/IP connection on port 5432?
First thing to try is to restart the postgres service.
Start -> Programs -> Postgres -> Start Service.
If this doesn't help, try a reboot.

but it diddnt help..

Did you have it working before?
Did you uninstall/re-install anything? viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7347#p33724
Are you on vista? Attn: Vista Users Installing PostgreSQL 8.3

So for this nifty error here....

Unable to begin feeder import process. Reason: Unable to login to database (PT3 DB). Reason: FATAL: database "PT3 DB" does not exist


If looks like what your telling me to do is uninstall and then reinstall PT3 ? Is there a reason for this? It has been working for a couple months now.....at least the import portion.....and then all of a sudden this? I dont see how uninstall reinstall will solve anything but I guess I will try it.


So if I do the above to I need to save my database off somewhere first or what?



Thanks......

IF you had it running ok before and you didn't do anything to your postgres installation then it shouldn't need a re-install, but most of the times this has been reported and re-starting postgres hasn't helped it's been because someone has tried to uninstall/reinstall postgres.
Do you see any postgres processes if you look in Task Manager?

There should be no need to touch PT3, it's a database issue.

Before you do anything to postgres, make sure you have a backup of the database - use PGAdmin to "dump" (backup) your database.
If you have a backup of your original hand histories then you can always restore from them if necessary..

I had it running perfectly before, i diddnt do anythin to the postgres...not on purpose anyway.
I am on vista but it has worked before.

Do you think reinstalling postgres will solve the problem?
if so how do i backup my database??

I was having the same problem with the import error. I went to start PostgreSQL service and it seemed to fix the problem.
