MAC postgreSQL installation problems

Postby Mister P » Fri Dec 02, 2011 4:10 pm

Hi,

i installed pokertracker (latest version) in my macbook. The i get asked if i want to install SQL (9.1). The answer was yes. PT tells me that it is unable to download the installation file.

So i decided to install postgreSQL manually. Which seemed to work out.
Then i tried to open PT without downloading the SQL installation file. I tried to configure the SQL database with the default values, but another error occured.

"Unable to create PostgreSQL database: PT3 DB
Reason: Unable to login to database (template1). Reason: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

PLease help, i dont know what to do next. And yes, the firewall is set for pokertracker as well as for postgres.

Try opening PT3 and instead of the username postgres use the username _postgres (with the same values everywhere else) and see if you can connect then.
