Postgresql refusing connection to server - windows

I have been trying to connect to my postgresql 9.3 server but I keep getting this error.
Server doesn't listen
The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports
could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP
connections on port 5433? could not connect to server: Connection
refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1)
and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I have tried connecting through pgadmin3 and the command line.
psql.exe -h localhost -U postgres
This command also gives the same error.
I am on a windows machine. I have tried creating a separate server also with the same result.
I have no idea whats happening. Please help.
Thanks

As the error clearly tells or asks actually, Is the server running on host "localhost"?
So the chances are, the Postgres server is not running on your machine.
You can start the service(the layman way) by going to services and starting the service.
Here is how you do it:
Open Run Window by Winkey + R
Type services.msc
Search Postgres service based on the version installed.
Click stop, start or restart the service option.

Start the server with postgres -D ['data folder']
As in docs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/server-start.html
So in my Windows postgres installation from the bin folder:
postgres.exe -D ..\data
where data is in the postgresql installation folder

I had the same issue like Venkatesh had. But in my case I had installed pgadmin in version 9. But also installed version 12 at the same time.
When I now uninstalled version 9, the port was already set in the config of version 12 and not given free.
So my solution was to change the port of version 12 in the postgresql.conf file. Or even simplier, change the port in the server creation from 5432 to 5433. Now you are able to create a server again.

I got this same error. This happened when I uninstall and re-install postgress, for some reason after second-time installation, pgadmin tries to connect to the server on port 5433 whereas the server is running on 5432.
Rightclick server properties and change the port to 5432 and try to connect again. It should work now.

Your server running on port 5432 but in the properties, the port is set to 5433.
You must go to pgAdmin, click on database version, ex: PostgresSQL 10 and edit properties.
A new window appears and you need to change the port to 5432 [this is default port].
Hope this helps.

Windows - jboss on docker, connection refused to local oracle database

I have Jboss running in a docker container. On jboss I have defined a connection to the xa-datasource database as the ip address of my computer and not localhost because I work in Windows 10. Despite the correct ip and port to the database (oracle) I keep getting the connection refused error. I run jboss with the command
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 myjboss
Can anyone help me, or do I need any additional settings in my docker. I will add that I also test alpine and in the container (exec) I can ping my ip address.
Thanks a lot for all the answers. I would like to add that I tested all other solutions contained in similar questions, but unfortunately I did not get the expected results.
If you can ping your host IP, but you can’t connect to the database, granted that the DB is running and the listener is up...
I’d advise you to check the Windows Firewall settings.
Maybe try disabling it to check if you can actually connect to the database, if so, add an Inbound Rule to the firewall to allow connections on port 1521 (or whatever port your listener is running on)
I solved this problem by using not ip/localhost but host.docker.internal as described here -> https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/networking/

Getting Error running psql Command for PostgreSQL

I have installed the Postgres on my windows 10 PC and I set the environment variable also after when I run psql command it shows following error:
could not connect to server:
Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5433?
I have checked the port no service is running on 5433 and also tried changing it but getting the same error.I also tried installing Postgres outside Program File (thought maybe it's permission related issue) but still problem persist.I installed Postgres 13

How can I connect to a remote mongodb server using the mongo shell?

Trying to connect to a remote MongoDB server I get: socket operation timed out.
and the firewall log also doesn't mention any attempted connection.
I have the Mongodb running on a remote Windows 2012 vm.
I used --bind_ip 0.0.0.0 and added the firewall rules from the docs.
ping´ing from either client/server works and so does the vnc.
And I'm able to connect from the server using either localhost or the ip
Im new to networking and thought I slowly understand, but apparently thats not the case!
Is there anything else I did not consider?
Try this in your terminal
mongo -u <USER> -p <PASSWORD> <HOST>:<PORT>/<DB> --authenticationDatabase <AUTH_DB>

Windows 10 - MAMP Pro - MySQL Issue

I recently installed MAMP Pro demo version on my Windows 10 and my issue is that mysql is not running, even if green light is on.
My setup:
Using multiple versions of PHP, 5.4.45 and 7.1.5.
locahost has 7.1.5
.dev domains have 5.4.45
Using default ports: 80, 443 and 3306
Issues:
I can not connect with databases on .dev domains, says Error
establishing a database connection.
I can not connect with mysql through command line, says Error 2003,
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061).
I can not change MySQL password from MAMP says, can not update please
check if mysql is running. But both Apache and MySQL have green
light. But when I open XAMPP Netstat I only see that port 80 is being
used and not port 3306. PHP is also running.
Other information:
I can start Xampp MySQL with no problem while MAMP is also running.
But XAMPP can not connect to Apache.
I can open phpMyAdmin, but in Server section is only showing port number. Server: .:3306.
Before It
worked fine, but somehow I messed up and now I can not connect to mysql.
Send help!
Solution:
Uncheck "Local access only to MySQL database" under MySQL settings.

Postgres: Unable to connect to domain socket

Running psql gets me this:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
I installed Postgres 9.3.3 using Homebrew.
which psql gives /usr/local/bin/psql
This seems to be a common issue. I'm terribly sorry to ask again, but I've gone through at least a dozen Q&As here and can't resolve the issue. A few posts I've gone through include:
Why am I getting a could not connect to server error for postgres in Mac OS Lion?
Postgres cannot connect to server on Unix domain socket 5432
Can not connect to local PostgreSQL
Many thanks,
Justin
Have you modified postgresql.conf to accept incoming TCP/IP connections? You should uncomment the listen_addresses parameter and set it to an appropriate subnet mask. Then in pg_hba.conf you have to add a line to enable connections to databases over TCP/IP. Both configuration files are in your data directory (don't know where that is on OSX).
