Probably postgresql is not listening for tcp/ip connections. If I
remember correctly, pgaccess can use the unix sockets connect if you
don't specify the host/port connection parameters (and probably not
user/passwd either). Otherwise, you have to enable tcp/ip in
postgresql.conf (or postgresql.init or something, it varies).

That file only lists the services and associated ports. It doesn't mean
anything is actually providing those services.
