Issue
I'm in the process of installing a program called Moodle onto our server. During the installation process it asked for the Database port and Unix socket for the PostgreSQL database.
I found the database port with a sql command but I don't know how to find the Unix socket.
I'm vaguely familiar with the concept from my Unix classes but I don't know too much about this.
Please help!
Solution
The location for the unix domain socket will be configured in the postgresl.conf file.
eg:
unix_socket_directories = '/run/postgresql'
The name of the socket will be the same as the TCP port number, same config file.
eg:
port = 5432
So, here the socket is at /run/postgresql/5432
