I can not set up a Rails app using Postgresql for development on Cloud9 (c9.io): the migration does not succeed.
Common error:
~/workspace (master) $ rake db:migrate
rake aborted!
PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "0.0.0.0" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
Cloud9 does not run PG by defalut. Below is the fast & easy way I use to use Postgresql on C9:
1. Gemfile.rb:
gem 'pg'
2. Database.yml:
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
pool: 5
username: my_name
password: my_pass
host: <%= ENV['IP'] %>
development:
<<: *default
database: my_db_development
test:
<<: *default
database: my_db_test
production:
<<: *default
database: my_db_production
`
sudo service postgresql start
sudo sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE USER my_name SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'my_pass';
\q
echo "export USERNAME=my_name"
echo "export PASSWORD=my_pass"
source
bundle
sudo sudo -u postgres psql
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = FALSE WHERE datname = 'template1';
DROP DATABASE template1;
CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UNICODE';
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = TRUE WHERE datname = 'template1';
\c template1
VACUUM FREEZE;
\q
bundle exec rake db:create
rake db:migrate
Done!
However after not using the app for some hours the db goes to sleep & you have to "switch" Postgres on manually by typing in the console:
sudo service postgresql start
