Frank Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Please note I already have Postgres installed on the PC. The Admin Tool crashes if the postgres server is already running when I try to use Administration -> Start Daminon Server. One of those glorious .Net crash windows. If I stop Postgres then do Administration -> Start Daminon Server, I get the below output. 1. Check License ----------------------------------- 2. Trying to start Daminion Server... SYSTEM ----------------------------------- 3. Request an additional time... ----------------------------------- 4. Error Connection to PostgreSQL: Cannot found running PostgreSQL at 04/22/2024 16:11:03 ----------------------------------- 5. InitializeException of type 'System.Exception' was thrown. at Service.WCF.ServerService.DaminionService.Initialize(ServiceBase service, EventLog eventlog, String serviceName, String configPath, Boolean consoleMode) in C:\Daminion\code\ServerSideComponents\Service.WCF.ServerService\DaminionService.cs:line 923 at Service.Management.DaminionManagementService.OnStart(String[] args) in C:\Daminion\code\ServerSideComponents\Service.Management\DaminionManagementService.cs:line 2062 ----------------------------------- 6. Service cannot be started. System.Exception: Exception of type 'System.Exception' was thrown. at Service.Management.DaminionManagementService.OnStart(String[] args) in C:\Daminion\code\ServerSideComponents\Service.Management\DaminionManagementService.cs:line 2067 at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state) ----------------------------------- ... and the trial has started. Time is ticking to get this fixed so I can complete the trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Hi Frank, Please let me know what PostgreSQL version is installed on your PC? Daminion v 9 only works with PostgreSQL 12. Please download it from here: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads If you've got a higher version running, the default port 5432 is most likely already taken, When installing v 12, please pay attention to what port is being used to run it, perhaps it will be 5433 be default. Once PostgreSQL 12 is installed, please open catalogs.config as administrator: located in C:\Program Files\Daminion Software\Daminion Server" is the default path or a custom Daminion server installation directory. <Catalog catalogName="NetCatalog" webUserCreatorId="" fileShareUser="" ...... disableVideoPreview="false" databasePort="5432" transportPort="8082" restApiPort="0" fileTransportPort="8084" databaseUser="postgres" databasePassword="postgres" ignoringACForSharedCollections="false" /> update the parameter databasePort and databasePassword if you used the non-default value here. Save changes and try to start Daminion server. Let me know if it helps. Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 (edited) Hi Daria, I have Postgres 13 installed. I'll give Postgres 12 a go using Docker. Edited April 25 by Frank spelling errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 Hi Daria, Using Postgres 12 (through Docker) appears to be working like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
