Hi John,
What OS are you running it on?
For example, I've been told that Debian Linux puts its socket files in
/var/run/postgresql instead of /tmp/.
The idea here, is to find that socket file and remove it. For most
OS's, it's in /tmp/ but for yours it might not be, especially if you've
installed from a package (rpm, deb, etc).
It's something to look into.
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
