Rails - FATAL: database "myapp_development" does not exist

I am trying to configure my Env to use PostgreSQL with Rails, and I followed the steps for installing PostgreSQL from this article.

It turns out the following error

ATAL: the database "myapp_development" does not exist. Extracted source (around line # 661):

rescue ::PG::Error => error if error.message.include?("does not exist") raise ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError.new(error.message, error) else raise end

Did you rake db:create and rake db:migrate to rails server ?

UPDATE

Here are all the steps you must follow:

  • cd /your/app/path
  • bundle install
  • bundle exec rake db:create
  • bundle exec rake db:migrate
  • bundle exec rails server

You can also create a PostgreSQL database manually using the psql command line.

When there, connect to the local server and write "create database myapp_development"; without quotes

I had a similar problem. I checked different sites and tried what they suggested, but didn't work. Then I tried rake db:create:all and rake db:migrate , this worked for me. Thanks!
