win 7 download postgreSQl problem

[kwste82]

Hi, im trying to download postgreSQL from the link that poker tracker provides but all the mirrors appears to be dead or something. Is there any other way to download it?

Is there a reason you're trying to get version 8.2.7?

As i said pokertracker direct me to that link. I just follow that link. What version i have to DL?

If this is a fresh install with no data on the machine in question, get 8.4.2, available here. The only time it matters is if you have a data directory that you want to use (not a backup file an actual data directory - backups can be restored to any version).

I downloaded from the link you provide and all working fine. Thx a lot for your help.

I'm also trying to install PT3 within Windows 7. As the SQL-stuff Vista link didn't work i tried to download the "here" link above instead. First i got a dialouge field where i had to write password, i typed in dbpass twice (was that right?). Now they tell me to write what port to listen to and the default value is 5432 and I have no idea what to do.

Aren't there any easier way to get PT3 installed within Windows 7?

That's fine if you just keep clicking next the defaults should work and install things for you properly.

I did this. When I now try to stat PT3 for the first time a dialouge box is shown. It says:
Server: localhost Database User: postgres
Port: 5432 Password: dbpass

I click connect, cause I don't know what else to do. Then a box with the text:

Unalbe to connect to this database. Please check the configuration.

What to do?

Are you running PT3 as Administrator? If not, try closing it down and starting it again as Administrator and that should fix things.
