After I did brew update and brew upgrade, my postgres got some problem. I tried to uninstall postgres and install again, but it didn't work as well.
This is the error message.(I also got this error message when I try to do rake db:migrate)
$ psql
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
How can I solve it?
Mac version: Mountain lion.
homebrew version: 0.9.3
postgres version: psql (PostgreSQL) 9.2.1
And this is what I did.

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "laigary".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".

If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty
the directory "/usr/local/var/postgres" or run initdb
with an argument other than "/usr/local/var/postgres".
