Is the postmaster running? Can you use psql to connect to a database, say template1? If those work, I would think the script will work. I just upgraded the same thing and it worked fine. Did you just change to the 6.5 series postgres? If so, you'll have to run pgdump on your old databases before you can run postgres 6.5. Since the install script need to run psql, this may be your problem. --
