Installation goes without apparent hitch but then postgreSQL server is not able to be accessed.

How are you attempting to access the server? What error do you get?

Have you installed the postgresql84-server (or postgresql83- server) port started the PostgreSQL server using launchctl or "port load"?

Is the PostgreSQL server process running?

Ryan,
I've installed postgresql84-server @8.4.0 checked the PATH to make sure that this /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin is appended to the start of the path.

typed 'psql' at cmd line

bash-3.2$ psql
psql: FATAL:  database "donfox" does not exist

Previously I had installed 'PostgreSQLforMac' but it has been removed and it installs in under /Library.

The server was running earlier today, but after an install of GNUmed application, which required extensive ports I started getting this?

        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

The port selected was 5432.

I used the "port load".


I've never used PostgreSQL myself so I'm not sure what to suggest. But I was hoping your answers would help someone who knows about PostgreSQL help you further. I am sending this reply back to the mailing list. Remember to use Reply All so your reply goes to the list too, not just to the individual.

It would still be good to know if the PostgreSQL server process is actually running. For example, is it shown in Activity Monitor? If not, is there a PostgreSQL log file, and if so is there anything relevant in it?
