how come I get this error message when I try to connect to Postgresql

["Danny Lu" <comtpig@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
  I am running Postgresql 8.0.0 on Windows 98. When I try to connect to the 
database with
psql.exe using "psql.exe -h localhost -p 5432 template1 postgres" I get an 
error message like this:

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

Please help me out



Dan
