My first reaction would be to check whether the server is running e.g. nmap localhost -p 5432 On my pc this shows: Starting Nmap 4.68 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-09-17 15:31 SAST Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1. Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): PORT STATE SERVICE 5432/tcp open postgresql Are you running pgAdminIII as a user that should be able to connect to the database? And did you configure the connection details correctly within PGAdminIII?
