Resolve lite how do you start it?

[John Cox]

If you are on a Mac, I assume, the OS is not letting Resolve write to the hard drive to make the database.

Go to finder and on the macintosh HD icon, right click and choose “get info”

Unlock the padlock icon in the lower right hand corner with your user password to make changes

Change the access for “everyone” to read&write and relock the padlock

Run Resolve again and it should allow you to make a database.

Host 127.0.0.1 is not adjustable and it won’t accept.

Next, I see a window that says; “Failed to open database connection: could not connect to server: is the server running on host 127.0.0.1
and accepting tcp/ip on port 54327?
QPSQL: Unable to connect

I have a Windows PC running windows 7 OS and am running into the same problem. I still haven’t figured out how to run Resolve lite on my machine.
Has anyone had success starting Resolve lite on their window 7 machine after running into this problem?

Hi forgot I posted here, evidently there is a bug in the installer, it was suppose to create a folder in the application folder and calling tech support resulted in a terminal script that fixed the issue.

You’ll have to contact them since I’m on Mac…. Sorry…

I found the solution, I am running Norton 360 and zone alarm on my machine and I put the Norton program in silent mode and shut off zone alarm. Now Resolve lite opens up. I now can run zone alarm and Norton in the background and not have it interfere with Resolve
