When I try to connect to my postgresql database with psql I receive the error message:
D:\>psql -U postgres
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.5112"?
A similar error I get when using createdb:
createdb: could not connect to database template1: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
next two lines are identical to the psql error.
I can start pgadminIII without problems and access my databases. when I check the properties of the connection it uses port 5432. When using process explorer I see about 5 postgresql processes, though none accessing port 5432. The solutions I found in this forum are about linux/osx platforms, which I am not able to translate into a windows solution.
Could anybody tell what is wrong/what I am doing wrong and suggest a solution?
Thanks for your time.
