PT4 and Parallels/VM Ware Fusion

[Benedikt089]

Hello,

I want to use Tablescan Turbo via Parallels or VM Ware Fusion, but when I start Tablescan Turbo via Parallels it cannot detect my postgre database. I have PT4 installed on my mac.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Regards,

Ben

We can't offer support for any other applications - you'll need to contact Tablescan Turbo support if you have problems with that.
However, this guide explains how to set things up to connect to PostgreSQL on your Mac host from a Windows virtual machine.

I'm trying to connect PT4 in Parallels (Windows 8.1) to my database in OS X. I followed all the steps as explained in the guide but I'm still unable to connect to the PostgreSQL server.
So I added the lines in both text-files; now I'm stuck (in Windows) add the "Configure PostgreSQL-server"-window.
Server: 192.168.1.101 (my ip)
The other settings I didn't change as I also didn't change them when I installed PostgreSQL in Mac OS x
port: 5432
database user: postgres
password: dbpass

Is there anything else I can do to make this work?

You might need to use a VM specific IP address -- can you run the command:
ipconfig

at a Terminal in OSX and paste the output here for me?

This is the result:

Hopefully you can make something of this

Try using this IP in the VM: 10.211.55.2

[keep_it_riel]

So should I also use this ip in the pg_hba.conf file then?

Try using this IP in the VM: 10.211.55.2

I tried this with changing the ip in the bottom line of the pg_hba.conf file to 10.211.55.2 and also with leaving it as it was (host all all 192.168.1.0/24 md5). In both cases I'm unable to connect to the server when I launch PT4 in Windows.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!

I think kraada was suggesting that you use that IP address in PT4 in the virtual machine, rather than in the host config files.

That is not working for me
It would be super-awesome if I could use the same db in os x and in Windows VM but it looks like this is not going to work.
I guess my only other option is to install postgresql in Windows, make a new database and after sessions manually import my "processed hands" from Windows PT into Mac PT...
That's a lot of trouble to be able to play Zoom on a MacBook.
Does anyone know any other solution maybe?
