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
  username:
  password:
  template: template0
  host: localhost

cucumber:
  <<: *test

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

使用Postgres应用程序的Mac用户可能希望打开该应用程序(重点搜索Postgres或在菜单栏中找到大象图标)。在其中,你可能会看到一个红色的X,上面写着:“过时的邮政局长。pid文件”。不幸的是,聚光灯搜索不会显示该文件的位置。点击“服务器设置…”,在打开的对话框中,点击“显示”按钮,打开数据目录。浏览其中一个文件夹(对我来说是“var-10”),并删除邮政管理员。pid文件。

回到Postgres应用程序,点击开始按钮。红色的X应该变成带有“运行中”信息的绿色复选标记。现在您应该能够成功地在终端中运行Rails服务器之类的Rails命令了。

克里斯·斯莱德的回答帮助了我。

我写了一个小脚本来杀死那些剩余的进程,如果有用的话:

kill_postgres() {
  if [[ $* -eq "" ]]; then
    echo "Usage: 'kill_postgres <db_name>' to kill remaining instances (Eg. 'kill_postgres my_app_development')"
  else
    gksudo echo "Granted sudo"
    pids="$(ps xa | grep postgres | grep $* | awk '{print $1}' | xargs)"
    if [[ $pids -eq "" ]]; then
      echo "Nothing to kill"
    else
      for pid in "${pids[@]}"
      do
        echo "Killing ${pid}"
        sudo kill $pid
        echo "Killed ${pid}"
      done
      kill_postgres $*
    fi
  fi
}

这发生在我升级Postgres后(通过Homebrew)。我从12版升级到13版。

如果是这种情况,尝试运行postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres并检查输出。在我的情况下,它声明数据库文件与服务器不兼容。

您可能会得到一个postgres错误消息。旧的已经存在

Error: /usr/local/var/postgres.old already exists!

要解决这个问题,只需删除该文件

rm -rf /usr/local/var/postgres.old

修复数据库就像运行:

brew postgresql-upgrade-database

你的系统中安装了postgresql吗?如果没有,请观看安装postgresql。在你成功地将postgresql集成到你的系统中之后,你可以在你的系统终端中输入如下内容:

which psql
#=> /usr/bin/psql

之后,你需要在postgresql中创建一个用户和数据库,如下所示:

sudo su - postgres
psql

然后,您可以在终端中看到以下内容

postgres=#

类型:

CREATE USER yourname WITH PASSWORD 'passwordhere';
CREATE DATABASE metals-directory_production  WITH OWNER yourname;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE metals-directory_production TO yourname;

完成此操作后,您需要更正database.yml。也许你需要这样的东西:

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: metals-directory_development
  pool: 5
  username: yourname
  password: passwordhere   ### password you have specified within psql
  host: localhost
  port: 5432               ### you can configure it in file postgresql.conf

另外,如果你在postgresql上有问题,检查pg_hba.conf也是个好主意

我尝试了上面所有的答案,但对我不起作用。

在我的情况下,当我在/usr/local/var/log/postgres.log上检查日志时。这很好,没有错误。但我可以看到它正在监听我的本地IPV6地址,它是“::1”

在我的数据库中。事情是这样的

host:     <%= ENV['POSTGRESQL_ADDON_HOST'] || '127.0.0.1' %>

我把它改成

host:     <%= ENV['POSTGRESQL_ADDON_HOST'] || 'localhost' %>

然后就成功了
