Hello! I am using the Ubuntu subsystem (18.04) in windows com ruby on Rails (ruby version 2.5.1 and Rails 5.2.2) and with Postgresql in version 10. I surrounded a rake db:setup
at the root of my Rails project and returned the following error:
could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and Accepting Connections on Unix Domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"? Couldn’t create db/devpostgresql' database. Please check your Configuration. rake aborted!
I followed this tutorial to install and configure the Ubuntu subsystem on Windows along with ruby on Rails and postgresql:
https://gorails.com/setup/windows/10#git
postgresql was installed in windows as it is recommended
Take a look at this link: https://medium.com/@stephanedmonson/Solution-for-Connecting-postgresql-via-wsl-windows-Subsystem-for-linux-ubuntu18-c79940fa5742 And I think it would be better to run postgres on windows if possible.
