Shared database (Mac & Parallels Windows)

Hello All -
I'm trying to configure PT4 to share a PostgresSQl database. I've read all I can find online, I've gone through the help files and instructions pokertracker supplies, but I always end up in the same place, so I am doing something wrong.
I've had to re-install postgres 4 times now, each time restoring database from backup and starting again.

I tried to follow the set of steps layed out in the following instruction sheet:
https://www.pokertracker.com/guides/PT4 ... al-network

However, every single time I make these changes, save, and restart, I dont even get a chance to try connecting from the windows machine, because the postgres service no longer works. I start getting the following error on start up of PT4:

Unable to login to database (postgres). Reason: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?


Its like postgres will not autostart anymore. And Honestly, I've tried to find out how to start the service manually, but can't fine anything. There is such limited explanations of using it on Mac, and anything I do find seems to be related to an install via homebrew.


Any help would be appreciated.
