This is my first time using postgresql. I have checked and the server definitely seems to be running but I am getting this error when I start foreman

[...]postgresql_adapter.rb:1206:in `initialize': could not connect to server: No such file or directory (PG::Error)

Any ideas what’s going wrong?

Thanks

UPDATE:

I opened pgAdmin and the db is set to listen on port 8000 instead of 5432 (which seems to be what rails wants). I have tried creating a new connection and setting it to 5432 but I get this error:

Server doesn’t listen

The server doesn’t accept connections: the connection library reports

could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

    I got Foreman to work again by modifying my database.yml file. I had to change the port to 8000 (which postgres was listening on).
