What exctly does this error message mean? What permissions is this
error talking about?

The permissions on the socket file /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.

Ordinarily the postmaster will create the socket as world-writable,
but evidently not this time.  Perhaps you have set a nonstandard value
for "unix_socket_permissions"?  Another possibility is that it's not
the socket file itself, but /tmp that is mis-permissioned.

What kind of permissions does /tmp need?
