PostgreSQL stopped working, unable to fix?

TATSU 3D

Hey everyone,

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with Studio 4.12 atm. I booted up my render PC this morning, and upon launching Studio, I was greeted with the following error box:

I found a post on the forums regarding this same error, and the advice ranged from restarting the PC, to uninstalling PostgreSQL in DIM and reinstalling, to even uninstalling and reinstalling DAZ itself.

I have tried all of the above.  I have:

• restarted the PC - didn't fix the issue
• uninstalled and reinstalled PostgreSQL & PostgreSQL CMS from Valentina CMS Conversion via DIM - didn't fix the issue
• tried installing only one of the PostgreSQL types (standard and the Valentina one) at a time via DIM - didn't fix the issue
• Completely uninstalled Studio and reinstalled via DIM - didn't fix the issue
• Completely uninstalled and reinstalled Studio *on a different drive altogether* - didn't fix the issue

This was this morning, and now some 12 hours later I have tried again to make sure it wasn't just a glitch on DAZ's end. I still cannot get Studio to load.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I've maxxed out the sum of my technical knowledge.  Short of installing on a completely different machine I can't think of any options that I haven't already tried!

Not sure if these will be needed, but just in case - these are my render PC's specs:

• Windows 10 Pro
• AMD Ryzen 9
• 64GB DDR4 RAM
• 2X nVidia RTX 2080 Ti (Not SLI'd)

Thanks in advance

Well talk about egg on your face! XD

After everything I've tried today, and almost starting a full PC rebuild... I found the cause of the issue.

My cat has been exploring where she knows she isn't allowed (her toy mouse was behind the PC!) and she's somehow managed to pull the power cord out of the external HDD with my DAZ Library on it... /facepalm

Anyhow, reconnected that, powered it up and BINGPOT!... Studio is working as it should again!

Lesson learned tonight :P

For the record, PostgreSQL CMS from Valentina CMS Conversion isn't actually something that gets installed - it's a conversion tool from the old Valentina Database to PostgreSQL and needed to be run just once, by those who had Valentina inititially. Valentina hasn't been used at all since DS 4.10, and PostgreSQL was the install with new versions of DS since about 4.8 as I recall.
