I'm running Mavericks OS X 10.9 so I don't know if that's the problem. I've tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. I've uninstalled and install both postgres and the pg gem multiple times now.
This is my database.yml file

database: metals-directory_development
pool: 5

Can anyone help me?
check the file postgresql.conf (on
ubuntu
is in /etc/postgresql/X.X/main/postgresql.conf ) and look for the line that says:try change it to:
it would be accepting every IP's, next check the line that says:
and check if is the same port of your database.yml, by default on my postgresql-9.2 use 5433 instead 5432, don't forget to restart the postgres server,
Good Luck!
I got the same problem after updating my mac on Osx Movaje.
i found this solution :
Try first the bellow command line in your terminal :
If nothing change :
If still nothing change :
Last command to fix it, removed the postgres lock file by executing from root :
and then :

Hope that will help :)

As suggested above, I just opened up the Postgres App on my Mac, clicked Open
Psql
, closed thepsql
window, restarted my rails server in my terminal, and it was working again, no more error.Trust the elephant: http://postgresapp.com/
I have managed to solve the problem by following the Chris Slade's answer, but to restart the server, I had to use the following commands:
that I found here (pjammer's answer down at the bottom)
This issue comes when postgres doesn't shut down properly. Here is how I resolved this issue in three simple steps.
Step 1: Go to your postgres directory
Mac Users will find this in
/usr/local/var/postgres
, others might look at/usr/var/postgres/
.Step 2: Remove
.pid
file by running this command.Step 3: Restart your server
Mac Users
Linux Users
Finally restart your app and you are good to go.
Mac users with the Postgres app may want to open the application (spotlight search Postgres or find the elephant icon in your menu bar). Therein you may see a red X with the message: "Stale postmaster.pid file". Unfortunately a spotlight search won't show the location of this file. Click "Server Settings...", and in the dialog box that opens, click the "Show" button to open the Data Directory. Navigate one folder in (for me it was "var-10"), and delete the
postmaster.pid
file.Go back to the Postgres app and click the Start button. That red X should turn into a green check mark with the message "Running". Now you should be able to successfully run Rails commands like
rails server
in the terminal.
