Look to see if there's a socket file there, and if so try sudo -u postgres psql -h /tmp In the longer term, this indicates that you have a psql that did not come from the same packager as your server, because the server thinks the default socket location is /tmp, but psql (or really the libpq.so it's using) thinks the default location is /var/run/postgresql. That's a build-time choice that some packagers make because $standards. So the long-term fix is to not have a hodge-podge of different Postgres installations on the same machine. BTW, you can ignore the "could not change directory" warning. That's expected when starting "sudo -u postgres psql" in a directory that the postgres user can't read. regards, tom lane
