Subject: [EXTERNAL] Unable to start POSTGRES Database

My Postgres Database (used for ThingWorx) is not starting. Below is the error message. I tried to backup the database using command "pg_dump" and after that, when I restart my application, I started getting below message when I try "Connecting" to database using "pgAdmin III".

Error logs:-
