Change the built-in default socket directory to be /var/run/postgresql. For backwards compatibility with (probably non-libpq-based) clients that might still expect to find the socket in /tmp, also create a socket in /tmp. This is to resolve communication problems with clients operating under systemd's PrivateTmp environment, which won't be using the same global /tmp directory as the server; see bug #825448. Note that we apply the socket directory change at the level of the hard-wired defaults in the C code, not by just twiddling the setting in postgresql.conf.sample; this is so that the change will take effect on server package update, without requiring any existing postgresql.conf to be updated. (Of course, a user who dislikes this behavior can still override it via postgresql.conf.) This patch must be applied after postgresql-multi-sockets.patch, at least until 9.3 when that will be part of the upstream package. diff -Naur postgresql-9.1.4.sockets/contrib/pg_upgrade/server.c postgresql-9.1.4/contrib/pg_upgrade/server.c --- postgresql-9.1.4.sockets/contrib/pg_upgrade/server.c 2012-05-31 19:07:09.000000000 -0400 +++ postgresql-9.1.4/contrib/pg_upgrade/server.c 2012-08-12 22:43:10.388873678 -0400 @@ -179,11 +179,14 @@ */ snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), SYSTEMQUOTE "\"%s/pg_ctl\" -w -l \"%s\" -D \"%s\" " - "-o \"-p %d %s\" start >> \"%s\" 2>&1" SYSTEMQUOTE, + "-o \"-p %d %s %s\" start >> \"%s\" 2>&1" SYSTEMQUOTE, cluster->bindir, output_filename, cluster->pgdata, cluster->port, (cluster->controldata.cat_ver >= BINARY_UPGRADE_SERVER_FLAG_CAT_VER) ?
