Hello,

Unfortunately I'm unable to operate pgAdmin/PostgreSQL; first of all I can
only install version 9.5 (tried versions 11, 10, and 9.6 -- but cannot
install).

How come.  (Are you running a really old distro version?)

When I launch pgAdmin in order to try to use PostgreSGL 9.5, here is the
full text of the error message I receive (also, screenshot attached):

could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the
server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections
on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused
(0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1)
and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Well, *is* Postgres running?  You installed Pg but did you start it?  These
two commands will tell you:

pg_ctl status # when logged in as user postgres
sudo netstat -an | grep 5432

Hello,
You must be check postgres.conf file in order to see the particular port.
Sometimes postgres is running but in another port 5433, 5434, etc.

Re: could not connect to server, in order to operate pgAdmin/PostgreSQL

1. What is your operating system? It looks like Windows, but I'm not sure.
Also what version number for the OS?
2. Look in the url. You are at 127.0.0.1. That is the same as localhost.
But then it says 49194. Postgres uses 5432 by default. That's why you got
that part of the error message, but we need a lot more detail to help you.
3. It might be that your OS is too old to run the more recent versions of
Postgres. I don't use Windows anymore, but I know you have to be at Ubuntu
18 to run PG 10 +, there's probably something similar in Windows. That is
one of the many reasons why knowing your OS is important information.

In addition to what Malik has said above, you might have a mix-up
between IPv4 and IPv6 - the error message above indicates that
pgAdmin is trying to connect using IPv6.<br>

Hi,

(no need to cross-post this to all of pgadmin-support, -admin and
-hackers, I've removed pgadmin-support and -hackers)

That's not true, the Postgres project supports all Postgres versions on
all Ubuntu LTS versions at https://apt.postgresql.org.

Re: could not connect to server, in order to operate pgAdmin/PostgreSQL

A little off topic, but I clearly remember getting an error message when
trying to upgrade to PG 10 while still on Ubuntu 16, and seeing a blog post
to the same effect. I can't cite you to them now, of course, that was all
months ago, but that's where I got the info. It could easily have been
wrong, of course, but it was out there at the time.

Are you able to login with the same credentials via psql?

Please confirm.
