If you want to use separate directories for the socket, you need to use -h <directory> (and -p <port> if it's not the default) when connecting with psql. However, you probably just want to use different port numbers to start the postmasters and then use psql -p <port> to connect. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
