Hi,

I try to get an instance of Postgres 9.1.5 ready for some SQL programming. I have installed the software along with Drupal 7 and mediaWiki. After starting the pgAdmin III it tells me the server is running. So I try to connect to it using the respective button. Then the problem comes. I don't know where to put the pg_service.conf file under Windows 7. I have the content of it as:
[postgres]
dbname=postgres
user=postgres.

I have tried as a location several directories within C:\Windows\SysWOW64 but nothing worked. All the time the response to the connect request as issued by me from within the admin tool resulted in the message that the definition of the "postgres" service could not be found.

Of course I put the data in at best I could on the property tag of the server registration.

Who can help? Would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
