PostgreSQL problems

[snake_eyes]

Having followed the instructions in this thread exactly and getting no error messages, I still get the window that states 'PT3 cannot connect to any databases' when I start PT3. I have installed postgreSQL/PT3 with UAC disabled.

Any ideas?

Is PostgreSQL currently running? Press ctrl+alt+del and click Task Manager and look on the Processes tab: do you see postgres.exe running in the list? If not, try starting it via Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Services. If that doesn't start it, please check to make sure your firewall/anti-virus isn't blocking PostgreSQL from starting.

Yes postgreSQL is working according to TM.
Turned Firewall off, restarted computer and still it does not work. Get the window that says PT3 cannot connect to any dbs.

Followed the steps but still not connecting.

In that case, please create a support request linking to this thread and containing the contents of the [Databases] section of your C:\Program Files\PokerTracker 3\Data\Config\PokerTracker.cfg section and we'll go from there.

Server doesn't listen

The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
If you encounter this message, please check if the server you're trying to contact is actually running PostgreSQL on the given port. Test if you have network connectivity from your client to the server host using ping or equivalent tools. Is your network / VPN / SSH tunnel / firewall configured correctly?
For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on all available IP addresses on the server machine initially. In order to access the server over the network, you need to enable listening on the address first.
For PostgreSQL servers starting with version 8.0, this is controlled using the "listen_addresses" parameter in the postgresql.conf file. Here, you can enter a list of IP addresses the server should listen on, or simply use '*' to listen on all available IP addresses. For earlier servers (Version 7.3 or 7.4), you'll need to set the "tcpip_socket" parameter to 'true'.
You can use the postgresql.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to edit the postgresql.conf configuration file. After changing this file, you need to restart the server process to make the setting effective.
If you double-checked your configuration but still get this error message, it's still unlikely that you encounter a fatal PostgreSQL misbehaviour. You probably have some low level network connectivity problems (e.g. firewall configuration). Please check this thoroughly before reporting a bug to the PostgreSQL community.

my postgresql isnt connecting at all. any suggestions?

Click Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Services to start the PostgreSQL service. If you don't see the "Start Services" link or the PostgreSQL folder then you don't have PostgreSQL installed and you will need to download and install PokerTracker 3 Build 4 with PostgreSQL from our download page.

If that doesn't fix it for you, try disabling your firewall and trying again; some firewalls are configured to block PostgreSQL and need to have an exception put in for the program to run properly.
