PG is now running and connecting to pgAdminIII

I took the step described earlier and set the Win 7 login to "Local User Account"

Case closed.

Thanks for your help!

the Windows logon for this service is now set to .\postgres (password unknown)

I am thinking of checking the button to make it the "Local User Account" instead. The only client I want to use is pgAdminIII on the same machine.

I went to the Windows Control Panel > Component Services

The postgresql service is listed for Automatic startup.

I attempted to start it manually and failed with error 1053 saying Windows failed to start the service

The Service State is STOPPED

For AntiVirus I have AVG Free Edition version 9.0.819

Version 8.4.3-1

Log file is attached. Thanks for your help!

No, there was an error message about something not having proper permissions. Sorry, I had forgotten about that.

Should I repeat the installation, or just edit postgresql.conf.sample and copy to postgresql.conf in the same directory?

I installed postgres on my Win 7 machine using the distribution provided by EnterpriseDB. I am trying to run it with pgAdminIII on the same machine (connecting to localhost).

When trying to connect from pgAdminIII, an error message says:
"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 "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? "

Other documentation says that the listen connection is specified in a postgresql.conf file. There is a postgresql.conf.sample file but no postgresql.conf file. Should there be one, and in what folder does it belong? The Postgresql.org documentation describes locations only in Linux.

Thanks for your help,

Phil
