small doubt

In response to Kusuma Pabba :

when i use
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test
this i am getting following 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"?

should i restart the server or what should be done for this

how can i resolve this issue

Check, if the server is up and running. (netstat, ps, ...)

The location of the socket depends on your distibution, under Debian
this file is in /var/run/postgresql. You can start psql with -p or
--port and the correct position or set the location in the
postgresql.conf via unix_socket_directory = ...
