Hello all,
I was recently installing pg on a virtual machine. I also had pg installed
and working on my local machine.
On the vm I was having some issues installing a Drupal db so in searching
for a solution I found a recommendation of the following:
net user postgres /delete
and then reinstall pg.

I ran this command in what I thought was my newly built virtual machine's
dos window but it turned out to be the window for my localmachine which had
a fully functioning pg install with several dbs.
I was able to get my virtual machine up and running with pg and drupal as I
was easily able to reinstall pg.

The problem I have is I cannot connect to the postgres sql server database
using pgadmin III on my localmachine(the one I accidentally ran net user
postgres /delete on).

If I open up pgadmin and then in left column I have:
database
below this I have:
PostgreSQL Database Server 8.1(localhost:5432)...
If I right click on the above and select connect, I get the following error:
Server doesn't listen
The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the
server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port
5432?


Any Ideas?
I am new to PG so perhaps it is a simple adduser statement(I hope)?
Thanks in advance.
