If this doesn't resolve the problem, check the server is actually
listening at the socket. You should verify that your postgresql.conf
file has the correct settings.
The "listen_addresses" configuration parameter should be set correctly.
Changing this requires you to restart postgres for the changes to take
effect.

Having
listen_addresses = '*'
port = 5432
in the postgresql.conf file generally works.
(Don't forget to restart (NOT reload, but restart) the postgresql
server.

If this fails, check that no firewall is blocking the communication.
