Re: The server does not listen

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,
