unable to connect to database

[CloserkinG]

I uninstalled v3 and sql then went thru the instructions to reinstall so i could convert my v2 data to sql. but on the configure postresql server box when i hit connect i get an error stating unable to connect to database check configuration. Little help please thank you.

The defaults are:
server = localhost
port = 5432
user = postgres

You can disable password authentication via this tutorial.

You should also make sure that PostgreSQL is running (Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Service). You can also make sure that PostgreSQL starts on reboot by following the steps in this tutorial.
