Trouble with PostgreSQL/PT3

[jmill]

Okay, I recently uninstalled PT3 and PostgreSQL completely and am about to start over.

My problem was that every time I tried to run PT3 a box would pop up requesting a password from me.

I was told to do one of the following

If you used PT3 to install PostgreSQL, the default password is "dbpass" (no quotes). You can also go to Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Configuration Files -> Edit pg_hba.conf. Change the line:

Code:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5To:

Code:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trustRestart the service, then leave the password blank in PT3

Neither of these worked either. When I tried the second option this would pop up

" Cannot create the C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/pg_hba.conf file"

So, frustrated I tried to uninstall and reinstall PostgreSQL straight from PT3. I did this and ran into a few problems, the main one being the sound on my Computer was completely gone. As in there was a little x next to the volume icon on my toolbar and it said that no audio was installed on my computer. wtf. So I uninstalled PostgreSQL and PT3 again and am waiting this time until I actually know what to do.

So I'm just looking for some advice on what to do now so I don't screw it up again. Also, I had PT2 and the first 8/9 beta versions of PT3 and they all ran fine and I never ran into any problems. So not sure what I did, but assuming I messed up somewhere and that is has something to do with Vista maybe.

This is the PT2 forum, if you need help with PostgreSQL/PT3 you need to post this on that forum

Uninstalling PT3/PostgreSQL wouldn't have done anything to the sound on your system. If the sound isn't working, it's not because of these programs.

Sorry Pat, I'll go post there.

The sound thing was just weird because it was working, I uninstalled PostgreSQL and then reinstalled it using PT3 and there was a red x all of the sudden saying no audio was installed. As soon as I uninstalled it again the sound was fine. I obv messed something up, just not sure what.

Neither of these programs utilizes sound though so I don't know why it would be behaving that way.
