I keep getting this error when i try to run my localhost using "$rails s":
(Mac OSX 10.8.3) (ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0]) (Rails 3.2.11) (psql (PostgreSQL) 9.2.2 ) **installed with homebrew
I have been doing a lot of uninstalling postgresql and reinstalling so I have a hunch that there may be conflicting libraries somewhere...i just dont know where to start.
I had Postgresql 9.1 and 9.2 in the same folder and just moved 9.1 into the trash.
Here is the output when I run "rails s" in the terminal
Danny$ rails s

“Could not connect to server: Connection refused” To be sure that PostgreSQL is running, you can also restart it with systemctl restart postgresql. If this does not fix the problem, the most likely cause of this error is that PostgreSQL is not configured to allow TCP/IP connections.
How do I find my Postgres port number? On Windows you can use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and restart the PostgreSQL service. For ]po[, the PostgreSQL service is called "]po[ PostgreSQL". Repeating the "Check for Port IP" step above, you should now see that the port IP is "0.0.
If the connection is still failing, then there might be a permission issue in the pg_hba. conf access configuration file. Make sure this is set up correctly to accept connections from your IP. Finally, ensure there are no firewalls or iptables on the Postgres server that are blocking connections.
The error message is instrumental:
could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5433?
You may be trying to connect to the wrong port.
Standard port is 5432. Check how (and whether at all) you started your postgres server:
postgres@db:~$ ps -auxww | grep ^postgres
... <stripped more lines>
postgres 1274 0.0 0.3 1437240 57308 ? S May27 5:01 /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
The manual has related information here.
In my example, settings from /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf got used, which says (among many other settings):
port = 5432
Or run:
netstat -nlp | grep postgres
Or just look here (at least in Debian or Ubuntu):
ls -lA /var/run/postgresql/
PostgreSQL picks the next free port if you create a new database cluster. Since you installed repeatedly, you may have confused port numbers.
listen_addressesOr you just forgot to allow TCP/IP connections. Related answers:
