Unable to login to database

[DDrop]

Start Pokertracker3 - writes "loading.." than - "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?"
I installed PT3 with postresql, created database "localhost" (default), imported hands, all was ok, but now after i entering a code, writes this error

is the postgres postmaster service running when you get this error?

Yes, many postgres.exe in proccesses. I reinstalled PT and postsql, now he writes "Unable to login to database (PT3 DB). Reason: server closed the connection unexpectedly. This probably means the server terminated abnormall before or while processing the request."

Please check to make sure that your firewall is allowing PostgreSQL connections to be made. First, disable your firewall and see if you can connect to the PostgreSQL server. If you can, you should then enter your firewall settings and make an exception for Postmaster.exe and port 5432. Once this exception is made you will be able to restart your firewall and use it with PostgreSQL (and PokerTracker 3) without further issue.

I am having a similar problem. I can't find Postmaster.exe on my hard drive though. Only postmaster.opts and postmaster.pid

I installed procmon and it seems as though vsmon.exe (associated with my ZoneAlarm firewall) insists on closing postgres.exe even though I've given full rights to postgres.exe. I'll post in the ZoneAlarm forum to see if they know how to solve it.

It's strange since it worked after install but not after I rebooted. I tried reinstalling and again it works until I reboot.

I uninstalled Zonealarm and installed the Comodo firewall instead and now postgreSQL is working.

good to see you sussed it - procmon to the rescue once again...
