Create new local server in pgadmin?
I have PostgreSQL 11 and PGadmin 4 installed on windows. Currently I'm connected to a AWS server which hosts all of my data.
I want to create a local server (localhost) as a testing environment where I can experiment. I can't seem to do it though, and the other similar questions on stack don't help. Here's what my process is:
in pgAdmin, right click 'Servers' and go Create>Server
On the 'Create - Server' pop up box, i type in Name: Localserver. For 'connection' I type localhost. Port I leave as default '5432', db: postgres, username: postgres password: empty
click save.
however, I get an error:
error
What should I do? I am the admin if that makes a difference.

This is probably one of two things.
You have set up a Postgres server, but have not adjusted
listen_addressesin your postgresql.conf file, orYou have not set up a Postgres server on your local machine. ("Create Server" is a bit misleading, it should probably be "Create Server Connection".)

ah ok thank you for your answer. Can you give me any advice on what to do in each case? 1. i don't have postgresql.conf I have postgres.conf.sample 2. potentially, but i'm not sure how to set this up. I though it was set up automatically on installing PostgreSQL...

@Chirs Curvey I ended up uninstalling pgadmin, postgresql and then installing it again, but creating a local server in the process. AFTER that I then connected to my my AWS databases.
