Database update on Mac

[madsenma]

I've been away from poker for some time and a number of updates have been released in my absence which I guess is the cause of my inability to log in to my postgres database? When I try to open PT4 I get this message:



The release notes say I should update my database, would this solve the problem? Can you please advise how to do that on a Mac? I'm running OSX 10.9.3

PT4 updates do not affect your PostgreSQL installation, and that message suggests that PostgreSQL is not running.

Open Utilities -> Terminal and type this:

ps ax | grep -i postgres

..and paste the output here.

Output is:

25906 s000 R+ 0:00.00 grep -i postgres

That means that PostgreSQL isn't running. You will probably need to reinstall PostgreSQL - check out this guide. If you continue to have problems please open a Support Ticket and one of our support techs will work with you directly to get things sorted out.

Wrong version?

That implies it's trying to recover from a crash to some extent. Does the startup process ever finish?
