Error connecting to default database
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 4:34 pmHi
I read all the similar-looking topics I could find here but none of them seemed to have quite the same issue.
I have had PT3 for several years on a computer with no problems, until this week when I tried to run it for the first time in a couple of weeks (it is not my primary computer).
I get a dialog box with caption "Select default database" and text
"
Error connecting to default database.
Please select one of the valid databases below or create a new one.
Note: It may take time for the Database List to fully populate.
"
All my databases are listed but not selectable. An attempt to create a new database either crashes the process or gives another message of being unable to login to the database (template1).
My task manager shows several postgresql.exe processes (one of them comsumes ~40% of CPU time, is it normal). pg_ctl.exe appears for a while after startup. I have updated my PT3 from 3.10 to 3.11.7 BETA, and uninstalled my postgreSQL 8.3.x and reinstalled 8.3.17. Neither seemed to have any effect, do you have any suggestion what I could still try? I am not into uninstall/reinstall the whole thing (https://www.pokertracker.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=8047).
It may well be unimportant, but I had a system scan with AVG for the first (and last?) time one day before PT3 stopped working. However, it was several weeks before this scan that I had PT3 running for the last time.
