I have a problem starting PG 8.0 on a OSX machine, getting this
FATAL: could not open lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock":
Permission
denied
Perhaps that file already exists?
regards, tom lane
Huu, I feel really stupid... forgot to check invisible files...
Many thanks, it

hi, how did you install PostgreSQL? from source or from dmg? which user are
you using to start the instance?

Dear list,
I have a problem starting PG 8.0 on a OSX machine, getting this
FATAL: could not open lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission
denied
I checked the privs on /tmp
ls -ld /tmp
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 11 4 Oct 2003 /tmp -> private/tmp
ls -ld /private/tmp
drwx
