Re: could not connect via psql to 9.4 version

Hi.

You should use the right psql for version 9.4.

In linux run “which psql” to see which version is used to connect

Hello Team,

I have two versions of PostgreSQL 9.4 and 12.1

both servers can be connected through pgAdmin.

But through psql I can connect only to 12.1

when i connect to 9.4 got below error:

$ psql -U postgres -p 5432
psql: error: could not connect to server: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Perhaps 9.4 is configured to put its socket file in /tmp instead of  /var/run/postgresql/.  You can try -h /tmp, or you can just always use -h 127.0.0.1, then you don't need to worry where the socket file is.

Cheers,

Jeff
