Did you change the port number in postgresql.conf? Specifying
--with-pgport only embeds port number to binaries, not to
postgresql.conf.

Hello

If  your listen_addresses is wrong,the same error can occur.

example)
$ cat postgresql.conf |grep listen_addresses
#listen_addresses = '*'         # what IP address(es) to listen on;
$ psql -h 192.168.23.133
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
         Is the server running on host "192.168.23.133" and accepting
         TCP/IP connections on port 1844?

Is your listen_addresses  right?

Hi Devrim,
Hi Kenichiro,

Thank you!

In my postgresql.conf there was a line
  port = 6543
But it was commented out.  I took the # out.

My listen_address was set as localhost (and also commented
out, which I decommented), but my PGHOST environment variable
was set as machine.  I fixed PGHOST as localhost.

With these two fixes it is now working.

Thank you again.
