Answer 1

The first thing you should do is stop PostgreSQL service. In most cases it fixed the issue.

sudo service postgresql stop

If above doesn't work. then add the following line to /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf

sudo vim /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf

## good if you add under CONNECTION AND AUTHENTICATION comments
listen_addresses = "*"
