Weird error. All help appreciated.
Here's my database.yml
development:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: app_development
pool: 5
username: username
password:
test:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: app_test
pool: 5
username: username
password:
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: app_production
pool: 5
username: username
password:
When I create the databases manually and try to use them, for example rake db:test:preare
I get the following error:
FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
When I try to drop the databases I get the following errors:
Couldn't drop app_development : #<PG::Error: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
>
Couldn't drop app_test : #<PG::Error: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
>
Couldn't drop app_production : #<PG::Error: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist
If I try to create the databases through with rake db:create:all
I get the following errors:
app_development already exists
app_test already exists
app_production already exists
So it appears that my database.yml is ok. But for some reason it's looking for a database called postgres when that's not what's in my database.yml.
Any help appreciated.
EDIT:
Here is more from the trace of rake:
Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"postgresql", "encoding"=>"unicode", "database"=>"app_production", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"username", "password"=>nil}
[Mac OS X] I've never had any problem with PostGreSQL while using Linux. However, I started working with a MacBook and got the same error as you. So... Probably this is not the solution you were expecting for, but this one app solved all my headaches. I just wanted to share it with you guys.
