        connections on port 5432?
    

    that says it all.   Is the postgres service running ?  and if it
      is, whats listen_addresses set to in postgresql.conf ?  your
      system has ipv6 enabled, so listen_addresses should be
      'localhost'  not just '127.0.0.1'.  Or, it could be '*' if you
      want to listen on all interfaces (eg, allow LAN connections).
