Can't get PAH to start properly??

[zubs1aa]

I can't get PAH to start properly at all.

Here's my setup and what I am trying to do:

I ONLY want to use PAH for omaha games - I have the PT3 alpha on my machine for holdem.
In the past when I had PT2, I used PAH for holdem and had a bunch of DB's out there. I converted my PT2 sql DB to PT3 when i got PT3.

Running PTO 1.13.05a using a postgreSQL DB on WinXP
I downloaded the latest beta. - 1.19.10x today for PAH.

So, I've got Full Tilt running (FTP) and PTOmaha running. PT3 is not.

EDIT: (Added this item) PTOmaha is CORRECTLY getting all my hands.

I fire up PAH and get the following sequence of errors each time:

1) (windows erro msg) ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed: Could not find file d:....ptrack2.mdb. (This was my original old PT2 holdem DB)

so, I hit cancel (OK brings you to a screen trying to locate the db). a new error message pops up: PAHud error: SQL Connection Exception: error fetching information: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] connection not open. Hitting OK makes that pop up go away.

2) Then i hit cancel again on the original windows error message, and it goes away only to be replaced by the same message but pointing to a different db:

(windows erro msg) ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed: Could not find file d:....ptrack2.mdb.

hit cancel i get another db:
(windows erro msg) ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed: Could not find file d:....ptrack.mdb.

hit cancel i get another db:
(windows erro msg) ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed: Could not find file d:....ptrack6.mdb.

All of those were various access DB's used back when for PT2 but not used once I converted PT2 to postsql.

Then, along with the ptrack6 error, I get a PA Hud error saying : POkerace Hud Error: SQL Connection exception: Failed to connect to datasource: Fatal: database "PTPGSQL1" does not exist.

I hit OK to make it go away and now i finally have no error messages and can see the pah window

My suspicion here is that i need to somehow remove all the old connections to the old DBs and get it rehooked to the PTOmaha db, but I dont know how. This seems to be obvious since when I go into he PAH preferences and go to holdem DB's there is a whole list of them there...I tried un highliting them but that doesn't help. The omaha db listed is the correct name of the one i should point to.

Anyway, doing all that and it obviosuly doesn't run since the connections are all messed. Suggestions plz??????

Do those old databases still exist? (outside PT2)
If so, but you don't use them any more, try renaming the files so that they don't end in .mdb, then PAH shouldn't pick them up.
You might need to remove them from the config too. Close PAH down and make a copy of this file before you edit it:
C:\Program Files\PokerAce Hud\Data\Config\PAHud.cfg
There is a [Databases] section - remove any old databases from the list then save it and start PAH again.

If that doesn't solve it please create a Support ticket and attach a log file to it showing the start up process and we'll investigate that way.

Well, I did as you said, and now PAH runs without errors. But, it finds no tables and does ntothing.

I'd create a log file for it but i dont know how to create a PAH log file and your link there goes nowhere

Do you have the correct databases selected in Options -> Preferences -> Databases -> Omaha?
Do you see the tables listed in the main PAH window?
Do you have the correct hand history folder configured in Options -> Preferences -> [site]?
What type of table are you playing at?
Check your filters aren't preventing stats being shown: Options -> Preferences -> Filters

It seems that the logging tutorial post has disappeared - until I can repost it..
In the PAH menu select Options > Preferences and enable the "Enable Logging" option and click OK.
Restart PAH and play about 30 hands at a single table then attach the PAHud.log file to this ticket.
You'll find the PAHud.log file in the main PAHud folder - it may be called "PAHud (Text Document)" if you have file extensions disabled in Windows.

Do you have the correct databases selected in Options -> Preferences -> Databases -> Omaha?

--------- YES

Do you see the tables listed in the main PAH window?

------------- NO

Do you have the correct hand history folder configured in Options -> Preferences -> [site]?

------------- Yes


What type of table are you playing at?

--------- Full Tilt 6max cap PLO. various limits.

Check your filters aren't preventing stats being shown: Options -> Preferences -> Filters

---------- Only filter asks for current session only- so that's not it

It seems that the logging tutorial post has disappeared - until I can repost it..
In the PAH menu select Options > Preferences and enable the "Enable Logging" option and click OK.

--------------- I'll have to do this.

Restart PAH and play about 30 hands at a single table then attach the PAHud.log file to this ticket.
You'll find the PAHud.log file in the main PAHud folder - it may be called "PAHud (Text Document)" if you have file extensions disabled in Windows.

OK, we'll get back to you via your ticket.

OK

I started playing and watched the log file as I went. Noticed no hands were being seen by PAH.

So, I tried redirecting the HH directory slightly and realized that I had been pointing in the wrong place as now th elog file shows a lot of entries like:

2009/09/04 15:41:46.272: [HandHistoryFullTilt] HHF Loading: G:\zubs1aa-OMAHA\zubs1aa\zubs1aa\FT20090904 Branson (6 max) - $0.01-$0.02 - $0.80 Cap Pot Limit Omaha Hi.txt

etc.

That stuff wasn't there b4 I switched the directory. HOwever, PAH still picking up o tables and displaying no HUD.

EDit ticket now in #68922
