Hi Jayadevan,<br>
I gave the command <br>
&nbsp;<font color="#cc0000">postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data &gt; logfile
2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;<br>
<font color="#000000">and it started.<br>
Now I could run the command psql.<br>
Also when I ran the query "select version();"<br>
I got the following result.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;<font color="#cc0000">PostgreSQL 7.4.13 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu,
compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)</font><br>
It seems it shows the version from which I took the database to dump.<br>
Regards,<br>
Rekha<br>

<pre wrap="">After installing pgsql 9 and dumping an existing database,
I was able to run the psql command and run sql queries as
well.
Today when I gave the psql command I came across this error.
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.5432"?
Can you please help me to run the pgsql.

<pre wrap=""><!---->How do you usually start the server? Is it likely the server failed to
restart and you were getting the errors because the server was not up?
Check status of server
-bash-3.2$ pg_ctl status
pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 11456)
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres

Start the server using
pg_ctl start

Regards,
Jayadevan
