Today, my PostgreSQL doesn't start anymore on my windows machine...
I've tried to start the service in windows services and got the following error:
Windows could not start the PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Then I went to the command line to manually start C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/8.3/bin/psql.exe, and then I got this error:
psql: Could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "???" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Edit: I found this in the logs:
2011-04-22 13:13:16 CEST LOG: could not receive data from client: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
2011-04-22 13:13:16 CEST LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection
