在我做了brew更新和brew升级后，我的postgres遇到了一些问题。我尝试卸载postgres并重新安装，但它不能正常工作。
这是错误消息。(我也得到了这个错误信息，当我试图做耙db:迁移)
$ psql
psql: 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"?
我怎么解决呢?
Mac版:山狮。
自制版本:0.9.3
版本:psql (PostgreSQL) 9.2.1
这就是我所做的:
$ brew uninstall postgresql Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.2.1... $ brew uninstall postgresql Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.1.4... $ psql --version bash: /usr/local/bin/psql: No such file or directory $ brew install postgresql ==> Downloading http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.2.1/postgresql-9.2.1.tar.bz2 Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/postgresql-9.2.1.tar.bz2 ...... ...... ==> Summary /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.2.1: 2814 files, 38M, built in 2.7 minutes $ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8 The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "laigary".

现在，在我重新安装homebrew之后，当我使用$ psql时，它不会显示任何错误消息。
但是我在我的Rails应用程序中运行rake db:migrate，它显示:
could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

我终于找到了解决办法。
sudo mkdir /var/pgsql_socket/
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 /var/pgsql_socket/
这个解决方案有点棘手，但它有效。希望大家有更好的解决方案
更新
这也适用于我。
rm /usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid
