Error: Unable to login to DB

Postby malkasgambit » Sat Oct 18, 2008 6:00 pm

I've been using PT for months now and have NEVER seen this error message. The only thing that has changed as of this morning is I installed PT onto a 3rd computer at home (I play from multiple computers on my network -- laptop, bedroom CPU and garage CPU) and now I'm getting this error message when I try auto-importing or accessing my old hands:

"Unable to login to database (PT3 DB) Reason: Could not connect to server. Connection refused"

Weird thing is PT still works on my garage CPU and laptop, just not my bedroom now.

This means that postgres isn't running.
Please try starting the postgres service: Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Start Service.
If that, and a reboot doesn't work, try stopping the service (Start -> Programs -> Postgres -> Stop Service), running a search on your computer for postmaster.pid and then deleting that file, then restarting the service and see if that helps.
Note that you may need to turn on 'View hidden files and folders', and the file seems to be in the folder './Program Files/postgresql/[version]/data'.
