Database not loading

[Marquoz]

Today, whenever I try to open PokerTracker, it takes a VERY long time and then displays the following error message in red on the left hand side:

"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?"

I have done nothing to modify my system today, or in weeks. Help appreciated!

i have the same problem.

Unable to begin feeder import process. Reason: Unable to login to database (PT3_2008_06_12_013042). Reason: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.
2008/10/10 21:48:16: Fatal Exception during Auto-Import process: Unable to login to database (PT3_2008_06_12_013042). Reason: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

This error can 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.

Thanks Peligroso, this worked after a reboot.
