Can't connect to the postgresql server

["Chris Guo" <cguo(at)at-sd(dot)com>]

Dear all,

 

I just installed postgresql 0.8.3 on the fedora core linux 3, I also installed pgadmin 1.0.2 in my computer. But I am having trouble connecting postgresql by using pgadmin, it shows me the error message” An error occurred: Error connecting to the server: could connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host “192.168.3.118” and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?”

 

I am pretty sure that the postgresql server is running, but I figured it’s because the command I use to run the postgresql serve is not quite right and the port 5432 is not open to listen to the request since I didn’t find port 5432 after using namp to check the open port on the linux server.

 

Anybody has idea how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Chris
