Socket File “/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432” Missing In Mountain Lion (OS X Server)

Question

I just upgraded my MacMini Server from Lion Server to Mountain Lion using OS X Server. I am having the same problem with PostgreSQL that I did last year when I first instal

Answer 1

I was able to solve by simply filling in 127.0.0.1 for the PostgreSQL host address rather than leaving it blank. (Django Example)

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'database_name',
        'USER': 'database_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'pass',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': '',
        }
}
