PokerTracker

I upgraded from PT3 to PT4 on my iMac with no problems.

I then tried to upgrade to from PT3 to PT4 on my Macbook Pro and when I push the connect button on the Configure PostgreSQL Server box I get the following message "Unable to connect to this database. Please check the configuration."

The PostgreSQL Server Information is:
Server: localhost
database user: postgres
Port: 5432
Password: dbpass

In my applications I have folders for PostgreSQL 8.4 and 9.0.

I have seen other threads which have reported this problem but have not been able to fix this from reading them.

Your help with this will be greatly appreciated.

In Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal type ps auxw | grep -i postgres and hit enter and paste the output here for me please.

That does imply that PostgreSQL is running. Are you still able to connect with PT3?

Yes, with PT3 I can still see hands from the past. Also, it is using PostgreSQL 9.0.5.

Have you specified the correct port number for the 9.0 service? Use the same port number that PT3 is using.

Yes, both are using port 5432, user postgres and server local host. I got the PT3 info by clicking Database\Database Management. I do not remember making any changes to the password.

Open up the PokerTracker.cfg file in TextEdit (or any other text editor) and the password will be displayed there - if it's not dbpass, use the password listed there in PT4 and it should work.

I could not find PokerTracker.cfg. I even used the search function in Finder and it did not find it.

It's in ~/Library/Application Support/PokerTracker/Config/
