I read one of the mail discussion that that version of > sql is no longer supported so I upgrade to version 8.3. 8.0 is definitely supported. 8.0.0-rc1 is NOT supported, as it was a release candidate and is quite likely to have some nasty bugs in it. It's why there were point releases made right up until 8.0.20 recently. And will likely be more to come. So, it wouldn't be so bad if they were including 8.0.20. That's a supported release and you find fewer data eating bugs as a release gets older, so even if it was 8.0.11 or something, there'd be a lot fewer hushed whispers of "oh my god, that poor man" about it being 8.0.0-rc1. > The moteview program > has a script called "resetdb.cmd" (script is given below) whereby > as I understand it is to set the database for the program as server : > localhost, database : task, user : tele, and password : tiny.

You need to read the admin docs on what exactly to do. Quick version, in postgresql.conf: set listen_addresses="*" and if 8.0.0 has it, tcp_listen or whatever that setting is near the top in pg_hba.conf set it to allow trusted logins on 127.0.0.1 (i.e. localhost) then restart pgsql. Note that 8.3 may break things. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
