First off, this mailing list is for PgAdmin, not for PostgreSQL itself;
the pgsql-general list is probably more appropriate and has a wider
audience. Having said that, some more information would be helpful:
- What platform?
- How did you install PostgreSQL?
- Are you trying to connect from the same machine on which PG is
installed, or from another machine?
I'd also check a couple of things:
- Is PostgreSQL running? Look for PG processes:
ps ax | grep postgres
- If you're connecting from a different machine, look for the
list_addresses setting in postgresql.conf; depending on how PG was
installed, it's often set to listen on localhost only.
