After restarting my MacBook Pro I am unable to start the database server:
could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
I checked the logs and the following line appears over and over again:
FATAL: database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL: The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.2, which is not compatible with this version 9.0.4.
9.0.4 was the version that came preinstalled on the mac, 9.2[.4] is the version I installed via Homebrew.
As mentioned, this used to work before the restart, so it can’t actually be an compiling issue. I also re-ran initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8 and the file still exists.
Unfortunately, I am pretty new to Postgres, so any help would be very much appreciated.
