Installing Poker Tracker for the first time.

[callitjames]

I have recently downloaded the beta PT3 with the idea to purchase when fully available.

After installing and trying to load for first time I am brought up with the Configure postgresql Server box. In it there are 4 text boxes 3 of which are filled in automatically;

1) Server - localhost
2) Database User - postgres
3) Port - 5432
4) Password - ?

Now accrording to the PDF file password should be filled in but on mine its not. What do I need to put in there? Tried dbpass in the hope it was a default but no luck. I am on XP pro by the way.

What do I do?

Many thanks.

Do you have PostgreSQL installed on your computer? If not, you needed to download the version of PT3 that has PostgreSQL with it. It should automatically install it, then that dialog should have the password field filled in. If you did not download the version with PostgreSQL, download it and re-install. You should be okay after that.

I am having the same problem. I may have never configured my postgresql while using PT2 (is that possible when you use it everyday I have no idea). I do have postgresql instaled (v 8.2) but have no idea in PT 2 what to set the user name and PW to but I see it was not configured in the utilities ==> postgresql settings the user name, password and ODBC entry to use fields are all blank.

In PT 3 I have tried to install both versions and get stuck at the same spot the pw field is blank and the other three fields have the default values. If I try to connect I get "unable to connect please check configuration"

Thanks in adance for any help you can give (btw I even tried the stop startservice recomendation I see you giving elsewhere) thanks.

Same problem... I have 300k hands in my PT2 db, but I have no idea what SQL really is, and I am stuck at the "Configure PostgreSQL server" window when I try to start PT3.

Disregard; got it working now.
