First show us what you are using for connection parameters(DSN)?

Second the above is a different error message. This indicates that
either the Postgres is not running or is running with a different port
then the default of 5432. It also indicates that you are not using -h
localhost, but are trying to connect via a socket.


So first I would look at ps ax | grep post to see if there is a Postgres
instance running?

If there is then you will need to find and look in postgresql.conf to
see what port Postgres is set up on. The port setting is at the top of
the file.

If, as I suspect, Postgres is not actually running then you need to
start it.
