Did some looking in the archives, I found a similar problem with
connecting to postgresql.  Try doing an netstat -tap and see if postgres
is listening on any tcp/udp port. If not, you may have to tinker with
the configuration to specify which port you want it to run on.  I think
I remember reading that by default postgres only listens on UNIX domain
sockets.
