PG::Error server closed the connection unexpectedly

I am new to Ruby on rails. I've created two basic demo apps by tutorial learning by examples

and suddenly it stops working for my new sample app.

I have generated a controller Pages and two actions home and contact and nothing fancy.

Now, I am not able to open any pages, except the default index.html rails page at localhost:3000. The page at localhost:3000/pages/home and localhost:3000/pages/contact returns this error.

PG::Error

server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

and sometimes (usually when I restart postgresql),

PG::Error

server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. could not send startup packet: Broken pipe

This is my stack trace

I am not using database for now. I tried to do rake db:migrate but it returns the same error.

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 (as some bugs on google were related to ubuntu)

I have found similar questions on SO, but they are experiencing at some advance stage and thus involves some advance solutions.

Although, I am not using the database but specifying the port in configuration in database.yml solves the problem. By default, the rails new <app_name> --database=postgresql command does not put a port there.

Here's my config.

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: sample_app_development
  pool: 5  
  port: 5433
  username: myusername
  password: mypassword
  reconnect: true
