Is it?
Depending on your platform, you can check which ports are accepting
connections with something like:
netstat -plnt
If you don't see your port open there, listening on all addresses or
on the localhost IP, you probably need to modify your postgresql.conf
file to set listen_addresses or port as you need them. (You will need
to restart PostgreSQL.)
If the postgresql.conf file is good, you must have something
misconfigured in the networking on that box. You could run:
ping localhost
to see what that gives you.
