Re: BUG #18078: createdb not working

That's not fair.

I installed postgresql on ubuntu version 22.04.3, i am using postgres 15.4.
Prior to this I was using the latest LTS versions. This was done on my home
laptop.

After installation i switch to the postgres user. And I type createdb
command with the following options.

createdb -p 5432 -U postgres {clustername}

This worked perfectly fine and I could create this without issue. Whenever
I do this now nothing happens, there is no message or anything. I think
this is an ubuntu issue since postgres hasn't been updated for a long time.

So i tried with another port number like 5433 then i get this error:

createdb: error: connection to server on socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5433" failed: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?

I have also tried the initdb command to initialize database clusters but
had no success.

Is there another way to achieve this? i've checked most of the
documentations.
