Thread: Question about creating a new server

Question about creating a new server

From

Dear all,

Running postgresql 8.0 on windows xp.

I tried to create a second server from within
pgadminiii. 

address = localhost
Service = pgsql-8.0
user = postgres
port = 5433

When I do so I get the error message
error connecting to the server: could not connect to
server: connection refused (.....)
Is the server running on host '127.............
and accepting tcp/ip connection on port 5433

Can anyone explain me why it is not possible to create
a new server?  

If I would create a new server using initdb would it
then become visible in pgadminiii?

regards,
Danny

Hi,

I suppose you mean a "second server connection". Do you have a working
connection ?.

I don't work in Windows but these topic is a recurring one in this list.
Maybe is a firewall preventing you to connect, but it doesn't  make
sense is there is a actual working connection.

It is obvious, but are you sure postgresql is running ?.

Diego.
