db connection problem

[mekter]

I recently installed PT4 and it seemed to be running fine last week. Then today I got this error while opening the program.

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

Can you please direct me on how to re-connect? Thanks.

Of note, my PT3 does the same thing on startup. I was trying to install a more current postgreSQL version last week but never completed the installation. Perhaps this caused the malfunction? Currently still have version 8.3

Click Start type services.msc and click on it when it appears. Locate PostgreSQL in the list. Is the service running? If not, can you start it?

If I try this, PostgreSQL appears on the list. However, I am unable to start it.

problem solved. seems to have corrected itself after installing 9.0 postgreSQL.
