Thread: Unable to connect to the server

Hello,
I am a new user to pgAdminII. I faced some problem
during the installation in Windows 2000. Below are the
errors:
Error 1931. The Windows Installer service connot
update the system file C:\WINNT\System32\hhctrl.ocx
because the file is protected by Windows. You may need
to update your operating system for this program to
work correctly.

After the installation, i try to connect to the
server. the server is located locally. Below are the
errors i faced during the connection to the server:
An error has occured in
pgAdminII:frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click:
Number:-2147467259
Description : Could not connect to the server. Could
not connect to the remote socket.

I am using cygWin as the Unix emulator. I started the
cygWin-ipc_Daemon and the postmaster service.
Postmaster service is started using the below command:
postmaster -D /usr/share/postgresql/data &

the configuration in the pg_hba.conf is as below:
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

i connect to the server using the below configuration:
server : localhost
port : 5432
username : postgres
password : ****

I hope that you can help me. Thanks.

Regards,
Lee

This is common on Windows 2000, and is far more alarming than it should
be. It can be safely ignored.

Make sure you have enabled tcp/ip sockets, either by adding -i to the
postmaster command line, or by editing
/usr/share/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf.
