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?
I'm not sure PG is supposed to work on Windows 98, so take care.
Having said that, there are three things to check:
1. Is the backend process running?
2. Does the logfile say anything interesting (connection failed etc)?
3. If you open a console, "telnet localhost:5432" type "A" and hit return a couple of times do you get an error message back?
