Hi everyone,

Probably a bit of a basic config problem but any help would be really
appreciated

I can currently log in fine to psql like so,

#psql template1 -p 5432

this by default logs you into the local socket but unfortuanately it
does not work when I try

#psql template1 -h localhost

and returns the error

psql: unknown host name: localhost ( a similar login with mysql works
fine )

This has been quite frustrating as it means I can't login to the
database with tools such as pgadmin

Thanks in advance
