I know this question may be marked as repeated, but keep in mind that I have searched for numerous posted solutions and my error has not been fixed.
When starting postgres, I get the following error:
postgresql application server could not be contacted.
When running as administrator the error is "solved", but the application opens in another port - sometimes it opens in 50142, 51120 and others in 50859 -. And when it opens on another port (like the ones previously said), it asks for the password to connect to the server and I get this error:
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?
Infos:
- Windows 10 64Bits
- Postgresql 10
- pgAdmin 4.1
- Port 5432 (appears even in PostgreSQL\10\data\postgres.conf)
Solutions already tried:
- Run in administrator mode
- Modify the postgres.conf file
- Clear the contents of the folder AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin
I would like to know how to avoid this error when starting the application and always opening on a specific port.
