Apparently you don't have anything using port 5432 anymore, so you can just point your 8.2 back to default port (look for "port = " in your postgresql.conf). Alternatively, specify port 5433 in your DSN. By: Xin Zheng can not connect to PostgreSQL 8.2 [ reply ]   2008-02-24 22:44 I am having issues connecting to my postgres, I believe this is because I am running 8.2, and it is expecting 8.3. I get this message: 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.5432"? ls -a /var/run/postgresql . .. 8.2-main.pid .s.PGSQL.5433 .s.PGSQL.5433.lock I am running version 8.2 because there is a prebuilt postgis package for this version.
