[PitbullRiga]

Hello! Password checked ant is ok, port all so. But still cant connect.Connection refused.
I reinstal postgres 9.0. - still the same. Pls help.

Is PostgreSQL installed and running on your machine? Click Start and type 'services' and open the Services window: is PostgreSQL in the list? Is it started, or can you start it?

[PitbullRiga]

No it is not started. Try to start manually - Error -1053 The service did not respond or start control request....

Please follow the steps in this thread - if things go differently for you please post the errors you get.

[PitbullRiga]

postmaster.pid <- search not find that file. I read that thread before and try to delete.

Did you see any errors in the Event Viewer?

[PitbullRiga]

One error - Timed out waiting for server startup.

Please check our Firewall Guide as some security software can also prevent PostgreSQL starting. If that doesn't help please post back - kraada will be back tomorrow and he'll be able to help you further.

[PitbullRiga]

Disable antivirus, firewall - start PostgreSQL - start - services. Still the same error - 1053.

Could you please look in your C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\x.y\data\ directory (where x.y is the version you have installed - if you have 9.0 installed it might be in the non-x86 program files directory), and tell me what you see there?
