Are you using -h localhost to connect? you can do lsof -p {pg pid} to see where is Unix socket directory pointing to, also check postgresql.conf file to check if Unix socket location is non default value.On Thu, May 2, 2019, 8:50 AM SAMMY CRISWELL <Sammy_R_Criswell@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Good morning,
I am preparing to upgrade my pqsl server from 9.3.5 to 9.6.12. I have installed the 9.6 rpm onto the server that has 9.3.5 running. Postgres is still running 9.3.5 on that server, but when I try to run psql I get the following message.
“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"?”
The database is still running and working I just can’t use any of the client commands like psql, pg_dump….
And there is no "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" file.
Can someone help with this problem.
