Alright the penny just dropped, maybe:

1) You have started the Rails Web server on port 3000

2) You tried to do something that accessed the Postgres server.

3) You got connection refused error.

If the above is correct then the error message:

": Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host 
"localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?"

means either:

1) The server is not running. Check that the Postgres service is running 
in Windows.

2) The server is running but not listening on port 5432. Check the 
Postgres config file(postgresql.conf) to see what the settings I 
mentioned earlier are.
