could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/

[warebel]

hi

I have got a big problem. PT3 worked fine since 1st beta until today. there is a message in PT3:

could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

can someone explain me this problem and tell me how to fix it?

I am Vista ultimate user (UAC switched off, PT3 running as admin ect.) PT3 worked fine for almost 10 months...

This means that postgres isn't running.
Please try starting the postgres service: Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Start Service.
If that, and a reboot doesn't work, try stopping the service (Start -> Programs -> Postgres -> Stop Service), running a search on your computer for postmaster.pid and then deleting that file, then restarting the service and see if that helps.
Note that you may need to turn on 'View hidden files and folders', and the file seems to be in the folder './Program Files/postgresql/[version]/data'.
