PT3 Error on First Start

Uninstall #3

Same result # 3.

XML parsing error: 'syntax error' at line 1


Should I try the FULL version??? I will, if it will not mess up my existing PT2 databases.

[Josh]

Yes, try the full version. It won't (shouldn't) ask if you want to install PostgreSQL, it should ask for the configuration information.

[Pokaholic]

Well, that was a BUST.

Same result: "XML parsing error: 'syntax error' at line 1"

I run CA Security Center software, but have allowed full access for PT3. CA does seems to have a habit of not allowing me to download .zip files as .zip files. I have to save them as .efw or .ecw (something like that) and then rename them to .zip. Once I rename them, they work as they are supposed to. Do you think this could have anything to do with the problem?

[Josh]

Possibly. Is there any way to disable it temporarily to see if it fixes this problem?

[Pokaholic]

#$%@&# CA Software.

PT3 is running ................. so far, just like to guide sys it should.

Thanks for your help. Gonna start playing with this now. Hopefully, I won't be winning the free lisence. Wait aminute, what am I saying?

[Josh]

Glad to hear you got it working.

Just completed my first manual import. 115 Stars files, 5600 FR NL hands imported, 14 duplicates, o errors.

Sorry to ask this here, but:

Now, I want to import the remainder of my Stars play. I have an archive folder with 4,664 files and a size of 437 MB. Should I import in stages or all at once. Would this be a good/smart test???

[_dave_]

Yep, just point it at that directory and let rip :)

I ran into a few handhistory files crashing PT when importing 5k files. If this happens, look at the file number from import window when the crash happens. Then sort the files in your handhistory folder w.r.t filename. The first X many files are already imported according to the number you see at crash time. You can move these away to another folder. Either the last file of that batch or the X+1st file is the problem one. Try finding which one by importing these files individually and reproducing the error. Send the problem file to PT people by submitting a support ticket. Then import your handhistory folder once again with the remaining handhistory files.
