Since you haven't provided a single piece of information about what you

Re: BUG #18078: createdb not working

That's not fair.

I installed postgresql on ubuntu version 22.04.3, i am using postgres 15.4.
Prior to this I was using the latest LTS versions. This was done on my home
laptop.

After installation i switch to the postgres user. And I type createdb
command with the following options.

createdb -p 5432 -U postgres {clustername}

This worked perfectly fine and I could create this without issue. Whenever
I do this now nothing happens, there is no message or anything. I think
this is an ubuntu issue since postgres hasn't been updated for a long time.

So i tried with another port number like 5433 then i get this error:

createdb: error: connection to server on socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5433" failed: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?

I have also tried the initdb command to initialize database clusters but
had no success.

Is there another way to achieve this? i've checked most of the
documentations.

createdb in 15.4 works for me. And presumably lots of other people, this
is not the kind of thing that would go unnoticed.

You will need to provide some actual information. Like, what your complete
command was, and quote what error you got. Also how you installed and
upgraded (and upgraded from what) might be useful.

Cheers,

Jeff

As the error states, there is no server running on that socket and port. Have
you actually started the server?

This is almost guaranteed to not be a postgres bug, I recommend posting on the
pgsql-general mailinglist for assistance.

Re: BUG #18078: createdb not working

sudo pg_createcluster 15 {clustername} -p 5432 -u postgres

This worked, thanks for the help ;DDD
