Question
Rails with Postgresql: Problem running rake db:migrate in production
I have built a rails app on my local machine and would like to deploy it, following the tutorial here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-launch-your-ruby-on-rails-app-with-the-digitalocean-one-click-image
However, after uploading the whole app through SFTP, creating a postgresql user named ‘postgres’ (I did this to get around the peer authentication error), running the command
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
as the UNIX user postgres gave me the following errors:
Rails Error: Unable to access log file. Please ensure that /home/rails/log/production.log exists and is chmod 0666. The log level has been raised to WARN and the output directed to STDERR until the problem is fixed.
rake aborted!
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /home/rails/db/schema.rb
I have spent quite a bit of time googling around but no luck. Please help.
