I assume you've install postgresql on windows. If this is the case, you probably installed
pgaminIII along with it. So the first thing that I would try is to see if you can connect to
postgresql using pgaminIII. If you cant you may need to take another look at your pg_hba.conf
file to insure that it is configured correctly.
You could preform a similar test using PHPgadmin. However, you will need to install it and run it
on a web server.
If all else fails, you should be able to connect to postgresql at the command line using the psql
client utility.
