While I was out of the office yesterday the server shut down unexpectedly. Now I'm having difficulties getting postgres restarted because it's been so long since I've done this. Based on error messages when trying to start postgres I killed the .pid file and /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432. Obviously the wrong things to do. As user postgres I try to start the server and see this: postgres@salmo:~$ postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data & [1] 9746 postgres@salmo:~$ LOG: could not bind Unix socket: Address already in use WARNING: could not create Unix-domain socket LOG: database system was shut down at 2014-01-07 11:52:08 PST LOG: database system is ready to accept connections LOG: autovacuum launcher started And, when I (as a user) try to access a database: psql: could not connect to server: Permission denied Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? What is the process I follow to get postgres running again?
