Re: psql connection issue

The permissions on the socket are 777 owner/group postgres.

I installed the 9.3 onto the Centos 7 server using the repo at postgresql.org.

(http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-$releasever-$basearch)

There is no /var/run/postgresql and find cannot find another socket anywhere else.

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen
