Thanks folks. I'm getting way out of my depth here. My ss output is
below.
***I have reformatted Adrian's output above because word wrap made it
unreadable in this reply. I also numbered the separate lines so I could
reference what I am saying**
Comparing my results with Adrian's example, I notice that we both have the
Unix domain socket 5432 running (1) and we both have an IPv4 and an IPv6
socket open for postgres (3) and (5) BUT he has a couple of TCP sockets
that I don't have.(4) and (6) that are assigned specifically to 5442 in his
case. Shouldn't I have these same lines but assigned to 5432?
I'm assuming that there are two instances of postgresql running on his
machine (?) on sockets 5432 and 5442 (?).
Here is my matching ss output
------------------------------
[root@prod04 John]# ss -l -p | grep post
u_str LISTEN 0 128 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 69422 *
0 users:(("postgres",pid=2760,fd=5))
tcp LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:postgres *:*
users:(("postgres",pid=2760,fd=4))
tcp LISTEN 0 128 ::1:postgres :::*
users:(("postgres",pid=2760,fd=3))
[root@prod04 John]#
---------------------------------
I also stopped and restarted postgresql to see if SELinux picked up
anything on any tcp activity and it did not, so it doesn't seem to be the
culprit.
I ran netstat and grepped 5432 and no hits so nothing else has this socket.
Just as a test I changed the socket in postgresql.conf to 9876 and tried
again. Same results as above.
[postgres@prod04 pgsql_tablespaces]$ LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket:
Cannot assign requested address
HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 9876? If not, wait a
few seconds and retry.
Referring back to an earlier post, I changed the location for the domain
socket and lock file from /tmp to /var/run/postgres in the postgresql.conf
file and set the permissions so postgres could run. Now psql complains that
the domain socket is not present. There doesn't seem to be a config entry
or file for psql. What did I miss?
John
