"Connection to database NOT successful! Please ensure that PostgreSQL is running and your settings are correct."

I have Windows 7 x64 and PostgreSQL 9.0.1 (for x64) installed.
I keep having problems with elephant recognizing my postgres installation.

Please help, it's anoying me totally.
Few months ago i had trial version of elephant and everything worked perfect (with postgre 8.3). After my trial version has expired i uninstalled elephant and postgresql.
Today i wanted to install elephant again (full version).
I followed instructions ( http://resources.pokerstrategy.com/Software/el3phant/doc/ElephantSetupGuide.pdf ) and never seen dialog for postgre installation(page 15). That's why i installed newest postgre from their homepage manualy.
Now when i start elephant i got that message.

What I can/need to do to make this work? Would it help if i create elephant user manualy from psql shell or something?
pls help!

p.s. sorry for my bad english and sorry if i missed place to create this thread!

Edit: i forgot to say that i have service postgresql-x64-9.0 running fine.

Hey lennyCro,

i assume you can not create a new database within the database management of the elephant?

Are your login settings by any chance not correct?


I thought none will answer...
You can close this thread, i solved the problem.

I created elephant user manualy on pgAdmin and now it all works fine.
So i suggest everyone who installs psql separately from Elephant to manualy create user inside psql.

mrk1988, thanx on prompted answer ;)
