Hi Friends,

I am using postgres 7.4.2 in Ubuntu linux...

when I run psql -l command, it says the following error....

postgres@host:~$ psql -l
psqll: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I have the backup database in the home folder, please update me, how
should i make the database up...

Re: Help required

Run the following

pg_ctl -D <data folder path> status

to see if you have the db server running or not?

As these seems to me you dont have the database server running on port 5432.

Thanks,

Hello Vijay!

Not 100% sure but Ubuntu should have the database set up similar to Debian
on which it's based. This means, you can start the database via:
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
This should use the distribution specific startup scripts.

Greetings,
Matthias

Re: Help required

And run, do not walk, to the latest version of 7.4.x. Better yet,
upgrade to 8.1.4.
