Using the following command on my Debian 12 machine:
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-15 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common postgresql-contrib postgresql-doc phppgadmin
and following the instruction on this web page I have installed PostgreSQL-15.
The installation went smooth, until the following command was issued :
sudo -u postgres psql
... I get an error message that reads:
could not change directory to "/home/my_account": Permission denied
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?
What can I do to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
