Weird Error #4

Closed CaryLynch closed 9 years ago

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"?

Above is the error. Everything was working just fine last night. I closed my computer and when I got here this am, my computer was acting glitchy in general so I restarted it. Now I'm getting this error. I googled it and it seems to have something to do with sockets and permissions...? I'm not sure about this. I don't understand how it went from working to not working, when I hadn't touched the code since the last time it was working.

I think this is an issue with postgres launch control. Fritz is our resident postgres error fixer. I'm going to ask him for some help on how to fix this and let you know.

This is definitely some kind of issue with postgres. I'll be honest, I'm a little too nervous to attempt to fix it myself, based on the stackoverflow answers. I'd have no idea what I'm doing.

Got any idea when I'll be able to see Fritz? This issue is holding me up from being able to do just about everything.
