[OSM-dev] Socket problem with osm2pgsql on Mac/Homebrew

[Michael Corey]

Hello:

I have osm2pgsql now running on my Ubuntu box, if my name looks 
familiar, but now I'm trying to also get it working on my Mac, running 
OS 10.7 (Lion), with both PostgreSQL 9.1 and osm2pgsql installed through 
Homebrew.

I have confirmed that /usr/local/bin/osm2pgsql and /usr/local/bin/psql 
are the versions being used by my system (with which psql, which osm2pgsql).
When I try to run osm2pgsql I get a strange connection error:

|osm2pgsql us-south.osm.pbf -r pbf
osm2pgsql SVN version 0.80.0(32bit id space)

Error:Connection todatabasefailed:could notconnect toserver:Permission 
denied
Isthe server running locally andaccepting
     connections onUnix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
|
Any suggestions? I can connect locally to my databases fine with Navicat 
and via psql. Is it possible that osm2pgsql is trying to access the 
wrong psql?

Thanks,
