Re: [NOVICE] The server does not listen - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Thank you Moreno,

And how to "start the service"?
In the same terminal, run
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start

It will give you feedback on startup ([OK] or [FAIL])

In my etc folder there is not a init.d file...: see the findings of a ls in this txt file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4m7a9n17ensr6ri/Output%20di%20Terminale%20salvato?dl=0

I think this coul be useful
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7975556/how-to-start-postgresql-server-on-mac-os-x
I'm not a Mac expert, so I can't go further (and I've got no Mac around me to do a quick check), just take a look and see if it helps.
I saw many results while googling, so similar searches should let you acquire more informations.

Hi,

Check if the service is running. (/etc/init.d/postgresql status)

Start the service if not running and check the logs (location in the earlier email)

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Try checking if the service is started and listening on port 5432.

You can use netstat command to check it.

netstat -nalp | grep :5432

Also , check the latest logs of the postgres when you start the engine, what it is saying. We can get the logs usually at the location "/var/log/postgresql"

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

I am running Postgres 9.2 on a MacOs X El Captain 10.11.6. I start my database named posgres last time in May. [After that, I had problems on my Mac, so I re-installad and upgraded the OS ti El Captain.] Now I'm trying to connect to my database by PgAdminIII, Navicat and so on, but it seems impossibile to start a connection: "The server does not listen". I have tried to find a solution in the Postgres documentation, under the Appendices (Installation, starting the database etc.), but I am not able to find a solution.

I have a basic knowledge of linux commands, shell, privileges etc.

I will attach here some screenshot with the error messages: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/60onx881lrzwpgf/AAAa0iOBzfm0n1Jd5LD7sdg_a?dl=0

Could anyone help me (a) to understand what the problem exactly is and (b) how to find a solution? Hope my tables and data are there!!

Thank you very much for you attention,
