So I am able to connect to my psql database through the command prompt using the prompt (psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d Luxe-Hotel) and putting in the password but I am unable to connect through node.js.
import express from "express";
import cors from "cors";
import pkg from "body-parser";
import bcrypt from "bcrypt";
import knex from "knex";
import handleRegistration from "./controllers/handleRegistration.js";
import handleSignIn from "./controllers/handleSignIn.js";
const db = knex({
client: 'pg',
connection: {
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: 'xxxxxxxxxx',
database:'Luxe-Hotel'
},
pool: { min: 0, max: 7 }
});
db.raw('SELECT 1')
.then(() => console.log('PostgreSQL connected'))
.catch(err => console.error('PostgreSQL connection error:', err));
So when I start the server I get the error:
“PostgreSQL connection error: AggregateError [ECONNREFUSED]:

},

}
]
}”
I’ve turned off the firewalls, check the pgsl confiq files for listening address and ports, went over the config settings in my code and still no luck.
