I just installed DBeaver on my personal computer and am trying to create a PostgreSQL database.
I entered the following in the Connect to database window:
Host: localhost
Port: 5432
Database: postgres
User: postgres
Those values were all pre-filled defaults, so I left them and clicked the Test Connection... button.
When I click the Test button an error window opens, saying, "Connection to localhost:5432 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections. Connection refused: connect"
I tried setting my own db name and credentials, but get the same results.
How do I set up a local PostgreSQL database in DBeaver?
DBeaver does not allow to setup a local PostgreSQL server or instance: it allows to connect to an existing server or instance. If the PostgreSQL instance does not exist you should install PostgreSQL binaries and create a new database instance with initdb.
If your operating system is Windows 10 Home, you have to use 192.168.99.100 instead of localhost.
Answer from here - https://www.reddit.com/r/dbeaver/comments/fi8h0q/new_dbeaver_install_how_to_set_up_first/.
Dbeaver is just a client to the server. You need to setup the server itself first.
https://www.postgresql.org/
Download and setup the server then you can connect to it with DBeaver and do what you want to do.
I got the same, and then I remembered that I didn't start postgres with the script

I get this error message (see below) and do not know what to do about it.
Error message:
"psql: error: connection to server at "localhost" (::1), port 5432 failed: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
connection to server at "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 5432 failed: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections? "
I am using Windows 10 (64bit) and have tried the same thing on Kali and Ubuntu and still was not able to use postgresql.
Does anyone have a suggestion what do to? However, please use "language" that I can understand or at least look up simply because I am new to programming (in general). Thank you
P. S. I tried various different things such as using pgAdmin to change ports but cannot solve a problem. I do not know if this is important but I istalled postgresql via Binaries because regular Installer was giving an error message telling me that comspec does not point to cmd.exe even though it actually did...
If you
properly set up your db (installation and initialization using initdb), and if you
have your data directory containing your postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf among other things, and you
properly started the postgresql service,
then I can assume your problem is in the connection string.
Try to include the superusername and/or db name, your error maybe due to psql connecting to user localhost which does not exist inside your db.
Try to run psql with -U and -d options:
psql -U postgres -d postgres
I'd like to run a postgre db server on localhost:5432. It used to work, then I updated to mac os 13.2. Now if I enter my password to connect to local postgre server, the following error being shown:
Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
I tried to start the postgre sql local server.
I am new to PostgreSQL, and I want to use it on my personal laptop for personal projects. I use SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio at work, coding-wise I'm ok but I need some help with setting up the localhost on my laptop.
So I downloaded PostgreSQL and installed it along with pgAdmin that came with the package.
During installation, it asked me to create a PostgreSQL superuser password, which I did.
Then I tried creating a new server using pgAdmin as follows:
General Tab:
Name: localhost
Server Group: Servers
Connect Now?: check
Connection Tab:
Host name/address: localhost Port: 5432
Maintenance database: postgres
Username: postgres
Password: [blank]
But when I click save I'm getting an error message:
Unable to connect to server: could not connect to server: Connection
refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host
"localhost"(::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? 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?
Also tried replacing the password field with the Superuser password, getting the same error message.
Would greatly appreciate it if anyone offers any insights into this problem, I might just be a noob when it comes to server setups...
Thanks,
Mike
Update:
I believe there's a service I need to start as suggested by #Scott Moniz. I went into services.msc, tried to start the service postgresql-x64-10 - PostgreSQL Servier 10, and I got this error message:
"The postgresql-x64-10 - PostgreSQL Server 10 service on Local
Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if
they are not in use by other services or programs".
I then tried editing the property of the service, by changing the Log on as option to Local System Account and tried starting the service again, still got the same error message.
I'm using Windows 10 Home edition, it this helps to resolve the issues in anyway
Thanks,
Mike
Are you sure the database service is running and listening?
CLick Start>Run> type services.msc
Look for a postgresql service - if it does not say started right click it and click Start.
Alternatively you can restart your computer and the service should start if it is set to 'Automatic'
I'm new to DB viewers and DBeaver.
I installed DBeaver on Ubuntu 16.04 to view the DB tables of my project, chose 'PostgreSQL', entered username and password, clicked 'test connection' and got an error:
Connection to localhost:5432 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.
How do I configure it to access my project tables?
UPD
I installed DBeaver under vagrant virtual machine, and managed to connect, but don't see any tables and my project. Why?
If you use "localhost" as the host, your project and DBeaver need to be on the same machine (virtual or physical). Otherwise, in DBeaver, you need to enter the IP address of the machine on which Postgres is installed and running.
Additionally, make sure you select "Show non-default databases" in your connection settings to see all databases on the server you connect to. To switch to a non-default database, right click it and select "Set active."
New to web development. Trying to connect and register new server for pgAdminIII. (using cloud 9 ide)..
I get this error when viewing in the browser..
_PG::CONNECTION BAD _
could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on
"localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
could not connect to server: Connection
refused Is the server running on host "localhost"
(127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432
PS. trying to access via new user "ubuntu" SUPERUSER created..
How can I fix this?
PPS. On cloud 9's community forum, an employee says..
"Only ports 8080, 8081 and 8082 are open for workspaces so if you want to access the DB externally you'll need to run it on one of these ports. Make sure you can access it with curl from a local terminal and ensure it's listening on 0.0.0.0 not 127.0.0.1, as the latter only allows local connections."
Lastly, their ide comes with postgres installed, all I needed to do, was set it up..
How do I use the above info while trying to register the new server in order to use the gui?
Let me know if I need to include anything else.
Thanks.
You should enable postgresql service by performing sudo service postgresql start.
After enabling, you can access the console using sudo sudo -u postgres psql and CREATE ROLE ubuntu LOGIN REPLICATION CREATEDB CREATEROLE SUPERUSER; to allow Rails take advantage of your database.
Rails also complains about template read error after creating ubuntu role.
To fix the template error, read up on this.
You should get PostgreSQL server up and running in no time. Happy coding!
Edit:
You should only use localhost for local and system resources (i.e. psql, etc.) while 0.0.0.0 is for everything else like running Rails or Apache server.
