First off, this mailing list is for PgAdmin, not for PostgreSQL itself; the pgsql-general list is probably more appropriate and has a wider audience. Having said that, some more information would be helpful: - What platform? - How did you install PostgreSQL? - Are you trying to connect from the same machine on which PG is installed, or from another machine? I'd also check a couple of things: - Is PostgreSQL running? Look for PG processes: ps ax | grep postgres - If you're connecting from a different machine, look for the list_addresses setting in postgresql.conf; depending on how PG was installed, it's often set to listen on localhost only.
