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

"/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.
Yeah, that would be the CentOS repo's.
The Postgres community repo's are more current:
https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php
My guess, that is where the 9.5 version you found came from.
$ rpm -qa|grep postgres
postgresql-server-8.4.20-6.el6.x86_64
$ sudo yum update postgresql-server
