You know that a local connection only works when you are logged in on the database machine, right? Is your database listening on port 5432? Connect as user "postgres" and run the following queries: SHOW port; SHOW unix_socket_directories; That will show the port and the directories where UNIX sockets are created. You can use a socket directory name with the -h option of psql.
