Last week I upgraded from -7.4.3 to -8.1.2. I had some problems moving data because of both my ignorance of the proper syntax and the move from /usr/local/pgsql to /var/lib/pgsql. Now I cannot access the server: [rshepard@salmo ~]$ psql -l psql: could not connect to server: Permission denied Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? This also prevents me from logging in to SQL-Ledger and other applications. Now, I don't know that the server is accepting connections, but srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2006-01-21 14:53 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432= exists as a socket. What do I do to trace the source of this problem and fix it? TIA, Rich -- Richard B. Shepard, Ph.D. | Author of "Quantifying Environmental Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
