Re: PgBouncer error - psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.6432"?

Hi Guys;

Can I please get some assistance:

I have postgres server running on the localhost:

-bash-4.2$ telnet localhost 5432

Trying ::1...

Connected to localhost.

Escape character is '^]'.

-bash-4.2$ psql -U postgres 

psql (9.4.4)

Type "help" for help.

postgres=# \list

                                  List of databases

   Name    |  Owner   | Encoding |   Collate   |    Ctype    |   Access privileges   

-----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------

 postgres  | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | 

 template0 | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres          +

           |          |          |             |             | postgres=CTc/postgres

 template1 | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres          +

           |          |          |             |             | postgres=CTc/postgres

 test      | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | 

(4 rows)

pgbouncer.ini:

[databases]

template1 = host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=template1

[pgbouncer]

listen_port = 6432

listen_addr = 127.0.0.1

auth_type = trust

auth_file = /etc/pgbouncer/userslist.txt

logfile = /var/log/pgbouncer.log

pidfile = /var/run/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.pid

admin_users = postgres

-bash-4.2$ telnet localhost 6432

Trying ::1...

telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.

Escape character is '^]'.

2015-07-06 15:02:00.233 11993 DEBUG C-0x2549910: (nodb)/(nouser)@127.0.0.1:44274 P: got connection: 127.0.0.1:44274 -> 127.0.0.1:6432

But here is the weird thing:

When I try to run:

-bash-4.2$ psql -p 6432 pgbouncer

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

Is the server running locally and accepting

connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.6432"?

Please tell me what Im doing wrong?

And another question, if I want to specify remote postgres DB's in the .ini file. How do I do that?
