Hi,
I write from Italy, so sorry for my not-so-good English.
Yesterday I installed postgreSQL on my Ubuntu machine. At first I installed it (8.2 version) from the repositories, but then I found a developer's site where I discovered that compiling it from source is probably the best thing to do.
So I removed the version I previously installed and compiled the sources I downloaded from the official site.
Compiling didn't show any problem, but at the end of the process I didn't know how to start the postgres daemon and so on, so I decided to remove the version I compiled and install again with repos.
The installation seemed to end without warnings, but now, when I try to run "psql", I obtain this error message:
psql: could not connect to server: No file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/
postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
So it seems that the server is not up and running, but the question is: HOW can I make it run???
Thanks in advance for every answer
