Unable to login to database (PT3 DB). Please help me.

Hi Trackies

When starting Auto Import I get:

Unable to begin feeder import process. Reason: Unable to login to database (PT3 DB). Reason: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

What does that mean? Which Server. My Internet is up, i also disabled my firewall.
I tried to make a new Database, it wont let me because "Reason: could not connect to server"

Can someone pls explain me why I would need a server and how to fix this.
Thx
David

This means that postgres isn't running.
Please try starting the postgres service: Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Start Service.
If that, and a reboot doesn't work, try stopping the service (Start -> Programs -> Postgres -> Stop Service), running a search on your computer for postmaster.pid and then deleting that file, then restarting the service and see if that helps.
Note that you may need to turn on 'View hidden files and folders', and the file seems to be in the folder './Program Files/postgresql/[version]/data'.
