New Mac Trial - Can't Connect to DB

[squeeg]

User1, if you get it to work I would like to know what you did exactly. My friend is having the same problems too w/ pt3 mac trial but I dont think he understands all this comp jargon.

Hi all, I'm currently having the same problems with my newly installed Pokertracker.

I've gotten to typing 'sudo su postgres' into a terminal, but when it prompts me for my password it will not let me type anything. I'm getting pretty frustrated. Thanks for any help in advance.

Just type in your password and press enter. For security reasons it will not display anything at all while you are typing.

Yes, change that then stop and restart PostgreSQL (via the links in Applications/PostgreSQL 8.4) and then change it in PT3 and see if you can connect.

If you can't, please create a support ticket and link to this thread and we'll investigate further for you.

Hi, I ve already opened the postgresql.conf archive. Through all the other steps showed before on this post. How and where exactly do i change this port configuration inside the postgresql.conf archive, i am stuck here!

Thx for ur attention.

If you search for "port" you should find the config you need to change.
If not, you need to add a line like:
port = 5432 # (change requires restart)
..for the port number you want to use.
Then restart postgres.

i did as u said but i am still getting a division by zero when i try to restart the server.

The lines were

#listen_addresses = 'localhost' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost', '*' = all
port = 5433 # (change requires restart)
#port = 5432 # (change requires restart)
max_connections = 100 # (change requires restart)
# Note: Increasing max_connections costs ~400 bytes of shared memory per


in black is the line i added.

tyvm for ur help.
