Pokertracker 3 & PostgreSQL on MAC

[brutti]

Hello,

I've only been using PT3 on Windows, but recently got a Macbook Pro. However I do have a problem with PostgreSQL I think.

I installed PT3 along with PostgreSQL version 9.08. It worked fine without any reboots so I didn't do that. A few hours after playing and just setup the hud again I came over this problem after I did a reboot.

IfI just reinstall PostgreSQL and use the same Data folder Pokertracker 3 work fine and the settings also remains the same, in the long run though I don't want to be reinstalling PostgreSQL for every time I reboot my Mac.

It seems like PostgreSQL isn't running from the startup?!

I'm also looking forward to PT4 for Mac.


Thanks

Open Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and at the terminal paste in this:

sudo su postgres -c '/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/pg_ctl -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/ restart'

and hit enter. Enter your Mac password (it won't show *s but it is working) and hit enter.

Then try again.

Thanks, it's working fine.

If I do a reboot I have to copy paste the string again. Any way to make this permanent so I dont have to Copy Paste it into the termnial for every reboot?

Ty.

This tutorial explains how to set it up permanently.

Hi,

I am having the exact same issue. I tried going to Terminal and typing:

sudo su postgres -c '/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/pg_ctl -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/ restart'

but then it says this:

"su: unknown login: postgres"

Any suggestions on how I should respond?

Thanks

That implies that PostgreSQL is not installed - try re-running the installer located here.

Then try again.

I've been having troubles with this too, I did what you suggested and terminal returned:

pg_ctl: PID file "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running?
starting server anyway
pg_ctl: could not read file "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/postmaster.opts"

and still no luck, any suggestions?

Run this at the terminal and tell me the output:

su -c 'ls /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/'

[dylanstark]

this is what came back:

su: illegal option -- c
usage: su [-] [-flm] [login [args]]

The command for Mac is:

sudo ls /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/
