Hi Folks, It looks like the documented default for PostgreSQL's socket-directory variable should be "/var/run/postgresql", when it's currently "/var/lib/postgresql" (the data directory). I've attached a patch. Here's the original commit (thanks lfam for the IRC help): https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=6c0679215f4ffa534c1eb2e8c8a6e043a0c993fe Also noticed that since a recent reconfigure, my `psql` and `createdb` commands now need an explicit `-h /var/run/postgresql` argument to connect to the local database where one wasn't needed before - they look in /tmp by default. Regards, Ben
