So you were able to connect to PostgreSQL to create the database?=20
What has changed since then?

"Connection refused" generally means that the attempt establish the
TCP connection found the specified host, but the port on which
you're trying to connect is not available to be opened. That
usually means the service which offers that port is not running, or
that a firewall is blocking access.

Do you get a response when you ping 127.0.0.1?

Your previous email mentioned deleting the postmaster.pid file. Do
you have any more detail on what you did?

Start Task Manager and look in the Processes tab. Are there any
postgres process active? From a command line, run:

netstat -p TCP -a
and see if anything is listening on port 5432.
