Hi, I'm facing an error in starting my postgresql database. The error is as shown below: bash-4.1$ psql psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"? But surprisingly the port was open at 5432, I got it confirmed as below: top -u postgres PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 6180 postgres 20 0 164m 2296 1824 S 0.9 0.0 0:00.36 /usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/pg_statsinfod 6171 6861 postgres 20 0 17176 1324 952 R 0.9 0.0 0:00.01 top -u postgres 6171 postgres 20 0 234m 20m 19m S 0.0 0.3 0:00.47 /usr/pgsql-9.1/bin/postmaster -p 5432 -D /home/new_data/9.1/data 6173 postgres 20 0 179m 1444 636 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.24 postgres: pg_statsinfo launcher process 6174 postgres 20 0 181m 1368 520 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 postgres: logger process 6176 postgres 20 0 234m 1792 920 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.17 postgres: writer process 6177 postgres 20 0 234m 1520 648 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.14 postgres: wal writer process 6178 postgres 20 0 235m 3300 1344 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.14 postgres: autovacuum launcher process 6179 postgres 20 0 184m 1936 604 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.26 postgres: stats collector process 6826 postgres 20 0 107m 1740 1304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bash Is there any issue with my configuration??
