Hot swapping

[LiquidChild]

Hi,

I have successfully set this up before, but this time I am struggling.

I have installed PostgreSQL on the hotswap drive from within the new PC and have deleted the DB files in the config file but when I launch PT I can only get the 'Configure PostfreSQL server box, with 'Connect' or 'Cancel' being the only options. 'Connect' says Unable to connect to this database. Please check configuration. and obviously 'Cancel' is no good.

The boxes currently say as follows
Server: localhost
Port: 5432
Database User: postgres
Password : dbpass

How do I point it towards my P Drive?

Thanks.

You don't - you point PostgreSQL at the machine running the service. Localhost means the machine you're currently on. Click Start, type services.msc and hit enter. Is PostgreSQL listed there? Is the service running (and if not, will it start)?

Hi,

The service for PostregSQL is not in my services list on the 2nd PC but is on the first one.

The second PC is on Windows 7 if that makes any difference?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorted it, had unticked run as service upon installation, silly me.

Thanks for your time.

No problem, I'm glad to hear you got everything sorted out properly.
