Mac suddenly not recognizing DeckLink HD Extreme 3D
Hi guys,
I’m trying to get my new DaVinci Resolve setup started and encountered this error message numerous times, even after uninstalling Resolve and re-installing…
“Failed to open database connection: could not connect to server:Connection refused. Is this server running on host “127.0.0.1 and accepting. TCP/IP connections on port 5432? QPSQL: Unable to connect”.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I am currently running OSX 10.7.3 and installed the new NVIDIA driver as advised from this post. https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/277/14876
And it all seems to work apart from Resolve that keeps closing once I attempt to adjust settings in the conform page. Database issue perhaps?Any help would be much appreciated.

ps, I am new to DaVinci and still in the process of understanding how the entire system works.

All good, I contacted BMD and they told me exactly what to type in Terminal. All seems to be ok now.
Sorry about typing the wrong subject earlier.Alex.

Hey Chris,
Here were my exact instructions from BMD. After going through this procedure, everything worked fine.
Failed to open database connection
Symptom: Failed to open database connection: connection refused. Is the server running on 127.0.0.1 and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? QPSQL:Unable to connect.”
Cause: Unknown
Solution: Manually unintsall the PostgreSQL and then reinstall the Resolve app again.
Procedure:
Manual Uninstallation:Open a terminal
1) Stop the server
sudo /sbin/SystemStarter stop postgresql-8.4
2) Remove menu shortcuts:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/PostgreSQL 8.4
3) Remove the ini file
sudo rm -rf /etc/postgres-reg.ini
4) Removing Startup Items
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/postgresql-8.4
5) Remove the data and installed files
sudo rm -rf /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4
6) Delete the user postgres
sudo dscl . delete /users/postgres
7) Re-install Resolve
Regards
– Alex
