Did you examine the postmaster log?  The first few lines should show
what ports it bound to.  For example, on a Linux box I see

2025-06-14 12:48:07.536 EDT [12649] LOG:  starting PostgreSQL 17.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 8.5.0

2025-06-14 12:48:07.536 EDT [12649] LOG:  listening on IPv6 address "::", port 5432
2025-06-14 12:48:07.536 EDT [12649] LOG:  listening on Unix socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"
2025-06-14 12:48:07.543 EDT [12653] LOG:  database system was shut down at 2025-06-14 12:21:00 EDT
2025-06-14 12:48:07.554 EDT [12649] LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections

This won't immediately reveal the problem, I imagine, but it would
help decide where to look.
