PokerTracker

Hi guys,

I need some help. I am not very good in computers, and I have a problem with my PT4. I just bought it and it was running perfectly, and then, one day, I could'nt connect anymore. I didn't change or cancel anything.
I have this message (document attached). Can you help me, I have NO idea about what to do.

By the way, I am not really good in computers AND i am french, which means thats your explanations need to be so simple that a 2 years old can understand it.
Thanks so much !!

I am on Mac os (but I didnt' find the place on that forum to post that question).

That message means that PostgreSQL (the program where PokerTracker 4 stores your poker data) isn't running so do this:

1.  Confirm where your PostgreSQL is, probably here: 

/Library/PostgreSQL/x.y

"x.y" will be two numbers such as "8.4", "9.0", etc.

2.  Open a terminal, probably in "Utilities".  In the terminal window copy/paste this:

sudo rm /Library/PostgreSQL/x.y/data/postmaster.pid

Substitute the "x.y" in that command with the numbers from step 1.

You want to delete "postmaster.pid" so answer "y" if the command finds it.

3. Next reboot, press/hold the "Alt/Option" key while starting PokerTracker 4 to enable logging and click through any messages. Only start PokerTracker 4 once even if nothing appears.  

If you get the same error please attach these files to a Support Ticket where a technician can assist your further:

--> /Users/{Mac Login}/Library/Application Support/PokerTracker 4/Logs/PokerTracker4.log

--> Your newest 3 or 4 PostgreSQL log files:

Guide: PostgreSQL log files
