Postgresql – How to change Postgresql to be listening on port 5432

I've upgraded Postgresql from 9.3 to 9.6 on my machine (linux mint rafaella- so ubuntu 14.04)

As the previous version was listening on 5432 the new version is listening on 5433, but I want to change that to 5432 so that the previous configuration (rails, phppgadmin etc) work with the new postgres server.

I have changed the port in postgresql.conf from 5433 to 5432 and restarted postgres, but this didn't work:

$ sudo netstat -nltp |grep 5432     
$ sudo netstat -nltp | grep 5433
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5433          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      25467/postgres 

I also tried setting the environment variable and restarting postgres:

PGPORT=5432; export PGPORT

again, still listening on 5433 and nothing on 5432.

trying to connect gives me:

$ sudo -u postgres psql postgres 
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"?

What am I doing wrong?
