RE: Psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

Hi, Check if in the environment variables you have defined the route
export PGPORT = 5432
export PGHOST = / var / run / postgresql / .s.PGSQL.5432.

Let me know if you can solve it.

Asunto: Psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

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.
