Problem with AutoImport for PokerStars

Postby JNash » Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:42 pm

Everything used to work great until tonight. I fired up PokerStars and PT3, clicked the AutoImport button, and then I got a few lines of normal messages as it read a few tables, and then a bunch of red lines that all said:

Unable to begin feeder import process. Reason: Unable to login to database (PT3_2008_07_08_231244). Reason: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

Any clues? Thanks!

This error will occur if your PostgreSQL database is not running.

Click Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Stop Service, then Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Service to restart PostgreSQL. If PostgreSQL does not start properly at this point and PT3 doesn't start working, go to C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.x/data and find the file named postmaster.pid. Once you find that file, delete it, then attempt to restart PostgreSQL as above, and it should start properly.

If this happens every time your computer starts, you should set PostgreSQL to start automatically when your computer boots. See Setting up PostgreSQL to autostart for more information.

Many thanks!
The problem fixed itself after I did a cold reboot, but now I know what to do if it happens while I'm playing and don;t want to interrup the game!
Much appreciated!
