For the first time today I ran into this error:

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”?

I am running a simple Django blog, locally using PostgreSQL.

When I run:

ps auxw | grep postgres

I get the following:

Chris    3260    0.5   0.0  2432768    620 s000  R+   11:37AM   0:00.00 grep postgres

The last time I was able to successfully use PostgreSQL was last night. I have not changed anything since then, so it might be something to do with my computer maybe?

If you need anymore info, just ask me 🙂 Thanks for your help!

    The problem had to do with the way I shut down my computer. A simple restart fixed my problem.
