Subject: [NOVICE] psql thinks we should be listening on port 5432
Hello,
I’m running postgres 8.4.5, it was bundled w/ Actuate 11 Iserver. It was configured to run on port 8432 (not sure why or if that can be changed, I suspect it doesn’t matter in the long run). When I try to run psql, I get this error:
/usr/local/actuate11/AcServer/postgresql/bin->psql -d ac_dr_reports
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
/usr/local/actuate11/AcServer/postgresql/bin->
How do I tell it to look on port 8432?
Here’s the files in /tmp:
srwxrwxrwx 1 actuate actuate 0 Feb 21 15:23 .s.PGSQL.8432
-rw------- 1 actuate actuate 62 Feb 21 15:23 .s.PGSQL.8432.lock
Thanks.
Kevin
