Обсуждение: a question about postgresql server connection
Hi all,
I installed postgresql and when I typed ./createdb mydb, it gave error message:
*************************************************************************************************************************
createdb: could not connect to database postgres: 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"?
Then I checked /etc/init.d file, and I got postgresql-8.3 in this directory, then I used $ sudo ./postgresql-8.3 start, which gave error message:
****************************************************************************
LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use
HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and
retry\.
FATAL: could not open lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied
But before it, I have already add an line below the IPv4 connection, which looks like:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all 130.238.209.11/1 trust
I got my IP address from ifconfig. After that, I really do not kno w what should I do next step. I really appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

The /tmp permissions problem is unrelated to listen_addresses ...
need to fix that.

Hi, Thank you for your suggestion, I set my listen_address = ' * ', and I want to connect to local server. After I modified listen_address from localhost to *, the error message left to one line: **************************************************************************************** FATAL: could not open lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied But still, I cannot link to server.
