No import or HUD

[GarethChantler]

Got this error when I pressed Auto-import. Its weird b/c pokertracker had been working fine since the 6th until this

Unable to begin feeder import process. Reason: Unable to login to database (PT3_2008_05_03_212519). 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?

Two things: Make sure that the server is running (go to start -> programs -> postgresql -> start service). If that doesn't work please try to disable the password requirement for your local computer.

To do that please follow the directions below:

Removing password requirements for PostgreSQL

K, I've done both those now but with no results. I'm still getting the original error message on auto-import, plus a new one before I start up that says " This is an older database. Imports and some reports may not work properly. Please create a new database."

When I go to database manager to create a new database it gives me:
"Unable to create PostgreSQL database: PT3_2008_05_11_102929
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?"

Do you see a few postgres processes if you look in Task Manager / Processes?

I got a problem similar to this. First I had this message "This is an older database ...".
I created a new one set the new one both "active" and "default". I then exported all my hands to a folder on my harddisk i created (I read this advice in a thread somewhere else here).

After that I manually imported these hands back and everything worked fine but one thing:

- When I play on PS the hands are not imported automatically anymore. As a result there is no HUD-Data on the screen but old data imported some day before.

Any idea how I automatically import my hands from this new folder I created on my harddisk?

Fixed it. Just forgot to chose the new database on my HUD-Stats

Make sure that postgresql is running. In windows, press ctrl-alt-del and click on processes. Do you see anything in this box that says postgresql? If not, go to start -> programs -> postgresql -> start service, then try to create a new db again.

[GarethChantler]

This is really strange. I did go start -> programs -> postgresql -> start service, but this did not affect any of the previously mentioned error messages. Previous to this I had been running HUD and everything fine, for at least 5 multi-hour sessions, with the biggest problem being the HUD flicking off a few players for a hand. Now as WhiteRider asked, in my task manager processes there is nothing running with postgres in the name, despite me hitting start service. Maybe try a reinstall of postgres? I don't know...

[APerfect10]

Yeah, try uninstalling and then reinstalling PostgreSQL (you do not need to reinitialize your database cluster) and see if that resolves the issue.

Best regards,

Reinstall did the trick, whatever it was.
