Sometimes postgres is running but in another port 5433, 5434, etc.
Where do I find that postgres. conf file; where and how do I look? (I have tried plenty of searching and trying what's suggested, to no avail.)


It depends who you installed PostgreSQL. It could be in ~postgres/data , e.g. /var/lib/pgsql/data or /usr/local/var/pgsql/data , or just echo $PGDATA to find out, or do

ps aux | egrep -e 'postgres \-D'

and look at the dir after -D . Usually postgresql.conf (and postgresql.auto.conf ) are in there.

If you are running debian look in /etc/postgresql/<insert your pgsql major version>/<your cluster name>/postgresql.conf

You could find those out also by :

postgres@achill-XPS-15-9550:~$ psql
psql (10.6 (Ubuntu 10.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# show data_directory ;
       data_directory       
-----------------------------
 /var/lib/postgresql/10/main
(1 row)

postgres=# show config_file ;
               config_file              
-----------------------------------------
 /etc/postgresql/10/main/postgresql.conf
(1 row)

postgres=#



Not sure what to do with this, so I'll keep it in mind for future reference:

Hello, 

Unfortunately I'm unable to operate pgAdmin/PostgreSQL; first of all I can only install version 9.5 (tried versions 11, 10, and 9.6 -- but cannot install).

How come.  (Are you running a really old distro version?)

When I launch pgAdmin in order to try to use PostgreSGL 9.5, here is the full text of the error message I receive (also, screenshot attached):

could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Well, is Postgres running?  You installed Pg but did you start it?  These two commands will tell you:

pg_ctl status # when logged in as user postgres
sudo netstat -an | grep 5432
