每次我运行rails 4.0服务器时,都会得到这样的输出。

我运行的是Mavericks OS X 10.9,所以我不知道这是否是问题所在。我已经尽力了,但似乎都没用。我已经卸载和安装postgres和pg gem多次了。

这是我的数据库。yml文件

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: metals-directory_development
  pool: 5
  username: 
  password: 
  template: template0
  host: localhost
  port: 5432

test: &test
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: metals-directory_test
  pool: 5
  username: 
  password: 
  template: template0
  host: localhost
  port: 5432

staging:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: metals-directory_production
  pool: 5
  username:
  password:
  template: template0
  host: localhost

production:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: metals-directory_production
  pool: 5

当前回答

对于MacOS,我使用这个:

brew info postgres

而在输出的最末端,我看到:

...
To have launchd start postgresql now and restart at login:
  brew services start postgresql
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start

所以我只是使用这个命令pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start和psql begin work。

其他回答

我只是遇到了这个问题,但没有一个建议的解决方案对我有效。在谷歌搜索了很多之后,我确实找到了一个解决方案。这对我来说很管用。

首先,我必须运行这个命令来启动服务器,我猜设置配置文件的位置。

pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start && brew services start postgresql

然后我运行这个命令来访问postgres

psql postgres

在postgres提示符下,我输入“\du”来列出角色

postgres=# \du

postgres角色缺失,所以我必须用这个命令创建它

CREATE ROLE POSTGRES WITH SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEUSER CREATEROLE REPLICATION BYPASSRLS ;

这解决了我的问题,我希望这能帮助到其他人。

要用Postgres解决这类问题,并在Mac OSX上使用Postgres,这可能是我迄今为止发现的最好和最简单的解决方案:

http://postgresapp.com/

下载、安装,你就会开心了:)

我已经设法通过Chris Slade的回答来解决这个问题,但要重新启动服务器,我必须使用以下命令:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

我在这里找到的答案(pjammer的答案在底部)

我今晚在开发一个rails应用程序时遇到了这个问题,我已经开发了一段时间。我的问题归结于我的postgresql服务器没有运行。

我转到屏幕顶部(我用的是Mac),点击小大象图标,然后点击“开始”。

我们的服务器没有打开。

希望这能为某些人提供一个简单的解决方案。

您需要重新启动Postgresql服务器。

如果你使用的是ubuntu,你可以通过以下命令重新启动Postgresql

sudo service postgresql restart
