Hello, Eric Welcome to Django!
* Can you ping the server? * Are you sure about your username and password? Try creating a new login role through PgAdmin and use that instead to see if the error is in the connection or in the authentication process. * Does your pg_hba.conf file have an entry which matches the IP from which you are accessing the database? (check towards the very end) -- this shouldn't raise an error on localhost connections, but you never know Try #django and #postgres on irc.freenode.org for help too!
