Getting an error in connection refused

["Shilpa Tisgaonkar" <shilpa.tisgaonkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to connect to databasewhich has been already created. But
when I use following command  

 

psql -Utest1  -hlocalhost -p5432 -W testone

 

I'm getting  the following error

 

psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused

        Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting

        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

 

Can anybody please tell me how to solve this problem

 

 

Thanks and Regards
