Last week I upgraded from -7.4.3 to -8.1.2. I had some problems moving data
because of both my ignorance of the proper syntax and the move from
/usr/local/pgsql to /var/lib/pgsql. Now I cannot access the server:

[rshepard(at)salmo ~]$ psql -l
psql: could not connect to server: Permission denied
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

This also prevents me from logging in to SQL-Ledger and other applications.
Now, I don't know that the server is accepting connections, but
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2006-01-21 14:53 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432=
exists as a socket.

What do I do to trace the source of this problem and fix it?

TIA,

Rich
