PostgreSQL server logs often contain valuable information about connection problems. The location of the logs depends on your operating system and installation method. Common locations include `/var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log` or `/var/log/postgres/log`. You can use tools like `tail -f` to monitor the logs in real-time for error messages.
