Good morning,

I am preparing to upgrade my pqsl server from 9.3.5 to 9.6.12. I have installed the 9.6 rpm onto the server that has 9.3.5 running. Postgres is still running 9.3.5 on that server, but when I try to run psql I get the following message.

"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 database is still running and working I just can't use any of the client commands like psql, pg_dump....
And there is no "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" file.

Can someone help with this problem.
