After a recent upgrade to Mountain Lion, I've run into problems with my brewed postgres install.
$ rake db:create
>rake db:migratecould not connect to server: Connection refused
> Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
> TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
>could not connect to server: Connection refused
> Is the server running on host "localhost" (fe80::1) and accepting

>could not connect to server: Connection refused
> Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
> TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
After searching around the interwebs, I haven't yet found a solution to this issue.
I have found a suggested steps to help identify the problem but after following these, I'm not sure how to understand the results or what to do next. Can anyone help?
$ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start

Happy to provide any additional info that may be useful.
try removing:
/usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid
This once worked for me.

I'm currently working with a Rails 6 application and Postgresql. I been having issues when I run rails db:create. This error seem to happen after I updated brew upgrade I get the following error:
rails aborted!
PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I'm running Mac OS Mojave and I updated postgresq to version 13.
$ postgres --version
postgres (PostgreSQL) 13.0
I'm guessing this is why I have issues, I noticed in some of the other posts that running brew postgresql-upgrade-database might be a FIX to this problem, however when I run the command I get:
$ brew postgresql-upgrade-database
Error: No such file or directory # rb_sysopen - /usr/local/var/postgres/PG_VERSION
But I can see the .old file when I navigate to postgres as shown in the image below:
Also, if I tried connecting to psql I get an error
$ psql
psql: error: could not connect to server: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
I also see that the service is running:
$ ps -ef | grep postgres
501 48733 5971 0 1:23PM ttys011 0:00.31 /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-166_1/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim /usr/local/var/postgres/
501 52975 5971 0 1:54PM ttys011 0:00.01 grep postgres
What can the issue be?
this fixed it for me
initdb `brew --prefix`/var/postgres/data -E utf8
and then running
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres/data -l logfile start

I'm trying to run my rails projects but it keeps falling because it depends on postgres to be running. When I try to start postgres it keep saying its already running (or the port is taken). I checked activity monitor and there are ~6 postgres processes running, when I try to terminate/force-quit the processes, they just appear again...
not sure how to get around this issue.
actual error when running postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres:
LOG: could not bind IPv6 socket: Address already in use
HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use
HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
WARNING: could not create listen socket for "localhost"
FATAL: could not create any TCP/IP sockets
and when I try to stop postgres with pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast, I get this error:
pg_ctl: PID file "/usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running?
I ended up starting from scratch:
uninstall postgres through homebrew (brew uninstall postgresql)
uninstall postgres though uninstaller (/Library/Postgresql/version/uninstall)
delete postgres through file system (delete the folder: /Library/Postgresql/)
then just do a homebrew installation:
brew install postgresql
and start postgres manually.
1:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast
2:
brew services stop postgresql
For my rails application, every time I try to do rails console, I get this error:
server: Connection refused (PG::ConnectionBad)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I suspected that this was because my postgres server was down.. So I used the lunchy gem to stop and start my server. However, I still keep getting the same error.
lunchy stop postgres
lunchy start postgres
I also tried this:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
and got server starting
but when I do this: pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres status, it does not work because I get a pg_ctl: no server running
Why is this the case?
I am using PG for my Rails application, but suddenly today I can't access my application with this error :
could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "localhost" (fe80::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I already tried some ways to fix it, but it doesn't work.
I tried to check with
Irwans-MacBook-Pro:starterpad2 blackaholic$ ps auxwww | grep postgres

blackaholic 53913 0.0 0.0 2451204 684 s003 S+ 10:28AM 0:00.00 grep postgres
And when I check if the server run or not :
> pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres status
pg_ctl: no server running
Anyone know why this is happen? I already tried to restart my PG server, but it's keep saying that no server running.
Did you install it using homebrew? If not, you will probably have better luck doing so.
> brew install postgres
Once it finishes installing you will see instructions on how to start/stop it. Don't forget to run
> createdb
to install your user specific database. Once that's done you should be good to go.
i am very new to ruby and postgresql.
When i try to run
ruby scrpit/server, rake db:migrate, rake db:seed
i get this.
Rails 2.3.11 application starting on http:/0.0.0.0:3000

/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p371/gems/activerecord-.3.11/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:941:in `initialize': could not connect to server: Connection refused (PGError)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I am on ubuntu 12.04, ruby 1.8.7, rails-2.3, gem 1.5.3
This is what you should do:
verify that postgres server is actually running
$ netstat -a | grep postgre
if its running, try connecting to it from terminal using psql command. incase its, not running. try starting it manually
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
If it still doesn't start,
Are there any error messages in the server.log? If yes do post them here.
Good luck!
