Unable to login to database (postgres).

[Shamwoww]

Once again i have a problem with postgres and using PT.

I run a Mac and quit using PT3 after i kept having database issues. This time i thought i'd try PT4's free trial and see how it goes this time. Same thing again.

I have an error popup when i try open PT4:

Unable to login to database (postgres). Reason: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

How do i fix this?

Thanks

You'll need to use whatever password you used at creation time for that account. If you can't remember it, edit the pg_hba.conf file (we explain how to edit the file here) and change "md5" to "trust" (no quotes) and then restart your machine and then you should be able to connect regardless of what password you use.

The password i used is the same i'm trying to connect with and it won't work.

When i try to perform those commands, none of it appears. There is no postgreSQL folder in my library, only in my applications. When i use the command "ifconfig" no IP appears in my terminal.

Open Finder and click Go -> Go to Folder and paste in:
/Library/PostgreSQL/
and click OK. Does that show you any data?

[Shamwoww]

No.

"The folder can't be found".

Then PostgreSQL is not installed properly. Please run this installer and that should install it for you.

[Shamwoww]

Downloaded.

Still same message.

Did the installer complete OK or did you get any problems?

[Shamwoww]

Installer completed but nothing changed.

[kraada]

You still don't see that folder existing?
