I did everything you said. I found the file, on Vista it was slightly different, but I found it...
\USER_Name\AppData\Roaming\fpdb
I made the changes to the config example file, then "saved as" without the "example" so that it was the correct config file name... . I opened the "run" and then "cmd" which opened the dos window. I went to where fpdb.py was located, which in my case was...
c:\Program Files\fpdb\fpdb.py
I double clicked and nothing. Another black box opened and shut quickly and when I went back to the CMD box it had nothing displaying as far as an error. And, I did remember to reboot Windows before attemping to run the fpdb.py
I am "almost" sure that it is somehow related to the changes I made to the config file. I am probably doing something wrong with postgres. Either a wrong password, although I never changed it from the default "postgres" as they recommended. When I originally installed postgres, somewhere I had to use/makeup a name for the postgres. I used "adr" and could not figure out where in the config file that belonged, if it DID belong there. Very tired and frustated at all this work.
Three days of this is too much. You and others have tried to help to no avail. Either I'm stupid, or this beyond simple lay people's understanding. I really do appreciate the efforts made by you, dha123, and the others, but as you can see... none of the additional steps were mentioned anywhere on the wiki. This seems like a lot of stuff to go thru to just get it opened. And I did not even mention the installing of python and the other mapping/graphing program.
I'm tired and done fooling with it. I just wanna play poker.
Thanks again, one and all. I will wait for the finished product and a "one-file installation file".
