几天前，我能够成功安装Postgresql并从SQLite创建/迁移我的数据库（准备部署我的Rails 4应用程序）...或者我认为。
我重新启动了我的服务器，但当我尝试访问我的应用时，出现此错误：
PG::ConnectionBad
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
我在SO上看过几个类似的回答问题，但它们都涉及Mac。由于我使用的是Cloud 9 IDE，我认为可能存在差异（例如，localhost的提及可能不相关，因为这不是我当前访问应用的方式c9.io。）
根据其他问题的答案，我在终端上尝试了这个：
sudo ps auxw | grep post
给了我：
ubuntu 2527 0.0 0.0 10552 888 pts/5 S+ 15:21 0:00 grep --color=auto post
sudo find / -name .s.PGSQL.5432 -ls
我得到了：

psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused

以下是我服务器的完整描述：

答案 0 :(得分：18)
它看起来并不像postgresql正在运行。也许它没有设置为自动启动。这样做的一个原因可能是postgresql在最后一次运行时没有干净关闭，并留下了一个pid文件。
尝试
sudo service postgresql start
并查看它是否返回，并确保关闭vm（因此停止脚本可以运行），而不是仅关闭它。
