Connection to specified server - too much to hope that this would work first time!

Hi, DH:

A couple of questions: Were you using one of the 3.2.2 installers? And which operating system are you installing on?

Regards,
Pierce

Hi Pierce,

Thanks for prompt reponse.

Yes - 3.2.2 - deleted program, and tried again after installing additional server download - the ones recommended (database software) as recommended, but I thought this was all contained within the one simple install? Im using vista.

Didnt work - same result.

Thanks

Hi Ned,

At first loaded up 3.2.2 without the PostgreSQL server, and set up ALL databases. Then deleted wholly when login using both demo and 'server I specify' didnt work. Reinstalled both and just checked the empty database, and tried login again, nothing happening.

Arghh!!

Thanks guys,

D

Guys, should I just delete all and start again, with new usename and pw (not a great idea, since too many username and pw cause one huge headaches!)

Im just wanting to get cracking on a simple, small business set up using an empty DB. Watched most of the videos and operationally, it all makes sense.

Gents, I am away home to Scotland for a week, and if ok with you, will pick this up upon my return. Thanks for your help so far!

Pierce,

I too am having the same problem with installing the software on Vista with the 3.2.2 installer. I screen printed the error message and would love to shoot it your way if it will provide insight. I won't attach it here as it includes my password.

Thanks,

my apologies, this was sent twice

I spent some time on this issue with a couple of users and discovered something in common with both. Both had prior installs of other Open Source solutions on their computer, prior to installing PostBooks. In both cases the the other product also installed an instance of PostgreSQL. It appears the two installations of Postgres are conflicting, and preventing the PostBooks installer from finishing the install. If you are done for the moment evaluating the other Postgres-powered application, try Uninstalling it, and then running the PostBooks installer again.

For what it's worth I have successfully installed on Linux AND XP SP3 and evaluated. Yes, this is the baby.

Fondling over now, How do I have the POSTgres on a SSD that will be read by the Xtuple on the windows machine (a big beast that has two screens ) and be read by the Linux netbook which is the ideal toy when on the road.

The reason for the SSD is that it will have ALL the relevant files the Xtuple uses in notes (pics, DCN's, etc) and be the "core". I haven't quite figured out how to do this yet! BTW I am not a programmer either - just an experienced ERP user (SAP, Syteline)

i have install xtuple ERP on my computer for testing and most probably use it for my business. but the problem is after installation completed, when i try to log-in one appear but can not understand it. probably it is about server setting . please help me.

thank you.
