Do you mean in postgresql.conf?:

listen_addresses = localhost
port = 3000

What is the connection string you are using?

OS and version?

How was Postgres installed?

Hi there,

 From the above, you have the server listening on port 3000 (you would 
have set this in postgresql.conf - did you?), but the client is trying 
to connect on port 5432 (the default).

You therefore need to tell the client to connect to port 3000 - if you 
are using psql, you need the -p option:

    psql -p 3000 (... etc ...)

HTH,

Ray.

Hi,

PostgreSQL's default port is 5432, and if the Postgres instance on your 
computer is the only one there then that's what it'll be listening on.

I don't know anything about Ruby or how you connect to PG from it, but 
you need to tell it to use port 5432.

Alternatively, if you really want to use port 3000, then you need to 
edit postgresql.conf and change the "port" setting there. You'll need to 
restart PG for this to take effect.

Either way, you need to connect to the port on which PG is listening.

Ray.

Where are you doing?:

"When I am trying to run localhost:3000 ..."

Or is the above the port the Rails Web server is running on?

More below.

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-a-database

 From a Redmine install of mine(running against standard port(5432)):

# PostgreSQL configuration example
production:
   adapter: postgresql
   database: redmine
   host: localhost
   port: 5432
   username: redmine
   password: ********

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.

Sounds like a permissions problem to me.

See:

https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/11.0/PG_Inst_Guide_v11/PostgreSQL_Installation_Guide.1.13.html#

to find the log of the install process. It will probably have more 
information.

In future please do not attach a 1.4MB file. Most of it was Unpacking

Did you follow the instructions here?:

https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/11.0/PG_Inst_Guide_v11/PostgreSQL_Installation_Guide.1.08.html#

In particular the part about:

"To perform an installation using the graphical installation wizard, you 
must have superuser or administrator privileges. To start the 
installation wizard, assume sufficient privileges and double-click the 
installer icon; if prompted, provide a password.
Note that in some versions of Windows, you can invoke the installer with 
Administrator privileges by right clicking on the installer icon and 
selecting Run as Administrator from the context menu."

We had this issue in the past, and noted that re-issuing initdb from an 
Administrator Command Prompt (not doing anything else) from the Bin 
directory worked perfectly.

This was applied for 9.5, 9.6 and 10.x. Still not using 11 in 
production, so I have no cases to test at the moment.
