On my testing box this is my pg_hba.conf local all all trust host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust host all all ::1/128 trust "local" is for psql, etc. "host" is for JDBC connections Connection and authentication settings in postgresql.conf listen_addresses = 'localhost' port = 5435 max_connections = 100 unix_socket_directories = '/var/run/postgresql' #unix_socket_group = '' unix_socket_permissions = 0770 (I'm using port 5435 for 9.6beta testing) psql does not start the database engine. Whichever method you use to start it, that user (usually postgres) has to own the /var/run/postgresql path and have write permissions. E.g.:- -rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 5 Jul 21 03:57 9.6-main.pid A similar set-up is used for 9.4 and 9.5. I haven't used 9.2 for some years now, and as John pointed out, that version is nearing the end of its maintenance cycle. However, I believe a similar set-up was used. This is running on Debian.
