PostgreSQL error

[LightningLars]

i get a message when i try to configure postgresql database.
It says " unable to create postgresql database: PT3 DB reason: Unable to login to database (template1) 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?

if i click on"browse databases" i get this message: unable to login to database (template1) is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting tcp/ip connection on port 5432 ?

Im not that big pc freak so i dont know how to check my port..

Hope you can help me..

Have you had it working before or is this a new installation?

The first thing to do is reboot your computer - often problems with the postgres service can be fixed that way.

What operating system do you have?

[LightningLars]

Yes it is the first time i start PT3 Just installed. Tryed to reboot my computer and i still get the same error.
I use windows xp and its full updated

i saw some had some program running in "start programs then postgresql" program there, but i dont have that ?

[LightningLars]

I dont think i have Pstgreaql installed ?
I dont see a link with that seperate. So i really dont know what to do !

PT3 should have installed postgres for you if it wasn't running when you ran it.
Which installer did you use?

Download and save, then run the Beta 30.7 installer.
If it still doesn't install postgres for you follow this guide: How to reinstall PostgreSQL

this is greath.. nice program that dosent work !! wt

i dont know what the fuck to do.. i tryed to reinstall it and it still dosent work.

[LightningLars]

sorry im a bid mad..

i tryed to look in "start- programms" for it but there isnt anything. When i look at C:programs i can find a this map with the name "C:\Programmer\PostgreSQL\8.3" but i dont see it under controlpanel add/remove programs. There is not anything with postgresql

you are talking about a version i cant find. Can you give me a directly link ?

regards lars

still getting more mad and frustrated..

i followed the tstep by step on How to reinstall PostgreSQL and it fucking still dont work.
i have pokertracker 2 on my computer if that changes anything ?
Remember this is the first time i installed PT3..

Now i uninstalled post and pt3 and is trying to reinstall everything !
wish me luck man or money back

[LightningLars]

i works fine now.

Did reinstall. I did the same as before but i uninstalled PT2 so maybe it was a problem to have that on the same time ?
well
tread is dead

I'm glad to hear everything is working again - PT3 and PT2 should be able to coexist without any problems, but regardless it's good that you got everything working
