Postgres problem after Bundle installation

Posted December 23, 2013

I got this message after trying to start the rails server…

Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I have tried many many solutions, but noone really worked.

I believe it has something to do with the way Digitalocean has created the default application with Ruby/Postgres and Nginx+Unicorn

The error means that PostgreSQL is not running. Did you install Postgres? <br> <br>If you used the one-click ruby image, check out <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-launch-your-ruby-on-rails-app-with-the-digitalocean-one-click-image”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-launch-your-ruby-on-rails-app-with-the-digitalocean-one-click-image</a>.
