Hi, Sure, here are the results from the two commands:

Wondering if anyone on this list faced these before. I installed pg via homebrew and I get this error when trying to launch it via a local web server on my machine: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? So I go ahead and try to run postgres directly. When I do I get this: larson:~ larson$ /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.3/bin/postgres ; exit; postgres does not know where to find the server configuration file. You must specify the --config-file or -D invocation option or set the PGDATA environment variable. logout So my thinking here is that the config files are missing. I searched for pg_hba.conf file and couldn't find it. Now I am unsure how to proceed, when I used pg on os x Snow Leopard I could go into a ~/Library/Developer/postgresql folder and all my config files would be there. There would also be logs I could read to get a better idea of what's going. Now those seem to be missing, does anyone know where I can find them? Thanks in advance for your help, Andrew Could you please share below information for troubleshooting this issue: /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.3/bin/pg_config /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.3/bin/pg_ctl -D <data Directory Path> status -- Thanks & Regards, Raghu Ram EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
