Re: OSX: migrating Postgres db from one Mac to another

Thanks.
The message I get after entering the PW is "could not connect to server:
Connection refused Is the server
running on host "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?"
