Re: could not connect to server, in order to operate pgAdmin/PostgreSQL

Hello,
You must be check postgres.conf file in order to see the particular port.
Sometimes postgres is running but in another port 5433, 5434, etc.

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
