Re: BUG #2929: Error opening 5432 port

Good Morning,

I suppose it was the problem, but to solve this, I have disabled the windows
firewall. I am worried because I have a server with windows 2003 server
running and sql server 2005 and IIS and PHP and Postgres 8.1, I tried to
connect locally but the problem is the same, I installed the same version of
Postgres in other computer and it works good, I made a copy of the folder on
my server and I replaced the new Postgres installation in the other
computer, and it the new computer still working good, but I couldn’t see the
data bases. I know the Postgres data files folder but it is invisible to new
installation.

How I can solve this problem with this port. I stopped the Postgres service
in my server, and I started it again, I have restarted the server, I’ve
configured the Postgres configuration files manually, and disable the
firewall and the problem persists.

What happened with my server, time ago the Postgres 8.1 had worked perfect,
and 2 days ago it leaves.
I used the command “net stat –a” to see the ports and I can not find 5432
port.

well this simple means that you are trying to connect to localhost on
port 5432 and there is either nothing listening there or you have a
firewall blocking the request.
Have you checked that the postgresql service(from that error message I
assume you are running windows) is actually running and configured to
listen on that interface (it should be by default but somebody might
have changed that.
Another possibility would be some kind of firewall that is blocking the
request - if you have something like that you could try to disable it
temporary.
