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?
