It's also possible that PuppetDB is not running due to the postgres error.
On the PuppetDB machine, you can run these to find out:
service pe-puppetdb status
telnet localhost 8081
PuppetDB logs can be found in /var/log/pe-puppetdb/puppetdb.log (I
believe). If there is an error at the end of that about not being able to
connect to postgres, then that's the issue.
