I have tried all solutions out there. I can't even take backup by pg_dump. Getting the following error while running pg_dump database_name > database_backup.bak:
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "database_name" failed: 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"?
Here is the log of permissions of /var/lib/postgresql/10/main:

Here is the log after running sudo -u postgres psql this command:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Please Assist me to fix this. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Error: Invalid data directorymeans. postgresql.conf should be in /etc/postgresql/10/main and accessible by postgres.pg_ctl: command not found: the look for it and invoke it with its absolute path.
