Re: Error"Unable to connect to PostgresSQL server: connectDBStart()"

It says it cannot resolve "localhost"  Do you have it defined in your
/etc/hosts file (or c:\windows\hosts)?

Once it fails to resolve localhost it cannot create a connection to the
database which in turn is the next operation on that connection (that
you didn't create) fails with the second error message.
