Ah! Adrean, here is something interesting.

pg_lsclusters displays the following information

Ver Cluster Port Status                Owner    Data directory              Log file
12  main    5432 down,binaries_missing postgres /var/lib/postgresql/12/main /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-12-main.log
15  main    5433 online                postgres /var/lib/postgresql/15/main /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-15-main.log

What is version 12 is doing there, I thought that I had completely removed it and replaced it with version 15!!
Should I remove that log file?

Regarding pf@xxxxxxxxxxx assertion, I am working with a Debian 12 machine and ls -l /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
displays the following error message : ls: cannot access '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432': No such file or directory

As for Tomas Pospisek questions :
* as which user are you doing that (you can see that via `id`)?
Due to matters of security let us assume that the output is :
id
uid=1000(my_account) gid=1000(my_account) groups=1000(my_account),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),
106(netdev),111(bluetooth),113(lpadmin),116(scanner),122(postgres),1001(tomcat)

* in which directory are you executing it  (you can see that via `pwd`)?
/home/my_account
* what is the home directory of the postgres user (you can see that via `grep postgres /etc/passwd`)
~$ grep postgres /etc/passwd
postgres:x:113:122:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/var/lib/postgresql:/bin/bash
* what does `ls -ld /var/run/postgresql/; ls -l /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432` show?
ls -ld /var/run/postgresql/
drwxrwsr-x 2 postgres postgres 100 Jul 31 20:45 /var/run/postgresql/

ls -l /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432
ls: cannot access '/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432': No such file or directory


- what does `journalctl -xeu postgresql` say?
sudo journalctl -xeu postgresql
[sudo] password for my_account:

- what does `tail -n 20 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-*-qgisclouddb.log` show?
sudo tail -n 20 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-*-qgisclouddb.log
tail: cannot open '/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-*-qgisclouddb.log' for reading: No such file or directory

I hope I was able to answer all the interesting questions posted as reply to my original post.

Thanks folks, I really appreciate the time you have dedicated to my question.

Using the following command on my Debian 12 machine:

and following the instruction on this <https://wiki.debian.org/PostgreSql#User_access> web page I have installed PostgreSQL-15.
The installation went smooth, until the following command was issued :

/*sudo -u postgres psql*/

... I get an error message that reads:

/*could not change directory to "/home/my_account": Permission denied*//*
*//*psql: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: No such file or directory*//*
*//*    Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?*/

What can I do to resolve this issue?

Run

pg_lsclusters

and see what port the server is running on.


Thanks in advance.
