All I can tell you, based on this information, Nitin, is that your
postmaster is not started, and it is failing to start for some
reason. Without any additional information, there is absolutely
nothing I can tell you. Try listing the /var/lib/pgsql/data folder.
Verify that it does exist

FWIW the correct permissions for /tmp on Unix machines is 1777. It should look
like this (note the "t

unix 2 [ ] DGRAM785
unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 525
Please help as it is urgent.

Hi
All the command such asgives following output;
1: :ls -a/tmp: No such file or directory
2 : "rm -f/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"
bash: rm -f/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432: No such file or directory
3:"ps -ax|grep postgres"
bash: ps -ax|grep postgres: command not found
Does PID in postmast
If it is true that listing /tmp (ls -a /tmp) returns no such file or
directory, then that may be the problem. You should have a world-
writable /tmp folder, as Tom already pointed out. Also, an update to
a more stable version of PostgreSQL is still highly recommended.

Egad. At first I thought that was a typo, but if psql really spelled
its error message just like that, it must indeed be 7.0 or older :-(.
Do yourself a favor and get onto a newer version, NOW. Not tomorrow.
PostgreSQL version 7.0 is really, really out of date, but as far as I
know, it should still work.
I generally use "ps -ax | grep postges" to see if there is a postgres
process running. Also, I use "netstat -a" to see open sockets and
listening servers.
Have you removed the socket file in
