Mac OS upgraded itself to High Sierra (10.13) recently. I only connect to my local databases once every month or two, and it worked fine before, so I'm assuming this is due to some automatic update but I don't know which. The psql client works fine, and I can still use it to connect to databases over the network. I installed PostgreSQL using Homebrew and this morning I've uninstalled and reinstalled using that utility, with no change observable. Is the server running locally and acceptingĬonnections on Unix domain socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'?
Here's the error message I'm getting today when I attempt to log in to my localhost PosgreSQL databases using psql: psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
