Hi List ,

I have installed PostgreSQL server in RHEL 5.3. I can able to start the 
database and also able to work on the DB by creating tables etc. When I am 
trying to connect thru ODBC from windows machine to the database server 
installed in Linux its giving the following error:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refusedit.



For resolving the same issue I changed the configuration file by adding the 
host machine and listen_address = '*', but the problem is I am unable to 
restart the server. Getting the below errors, Can anyone help me regarding this?

/etc/init.d/postgresql restart
Stopping postgresql service:                               [FAILED]

/var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to initialize 
the cluster first.
                                                           [FAILED]

service postgresql initdb
Initializing database: mkdir: cannot create directory 
`/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log': File exists
                                                           [FAILED]
