Hi List,
I am running postgresql 8.4.20 on CentOS 6. Things have been running fine for a long time
then I rebooted. Postgres came up but when I tried to connect with psql on the local machine
I got
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
The socket is actually being created (and always has been) in /tmp
So you built Postgres from source?
No - it is installed using yum.
It looks like the problem is someone loaded postgresql-9.5 and psql was
using:
psql 14971 postgres mem REG 8,4 193296 950807
/usr/pgsql-9.5/lib/libpq.so.5.8
the libpq from 9.5.
By removing the ln and using
# rm /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432
rm: remove symbolic link `/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432'? y
$ psql
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 psql
psql (8.4.20)
You probably already know, but 8.4 is ~2 1/2 past EOL. Also the last
release in that series was 8.4.22.
Hmm... maybe you missed the fact I am running CentOS 6. It appears 8.20 is the latest official release.
