PG::ConnectionBad FATAL: role "Myname" does not exist

Question

I am trying to use PostgreSQL so that I can deploy to Heroku. However I cannot run localhost anymore why? I get the following message:

PG::ConnectionBad
FATAL: role "Myname" does not exist

Here is my databse.yml

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: my_database_development
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

test:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: my_database_test
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

production:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: my_database_production
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000 

Here is my gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '4.0.3'

It seems that pg needs me to create a user or databse however I am unable to or don't know how. Couldn't find any commands that worked for me(I'm on a windows btw)

What can I do?

Answer 1

I had to go into my PG admin dashboard and create a db/user there. Unfrotunately it was in a subdirectory different from what the tutorials online said(probably updated directory destination last update). Fortunately I was able to find it and create the table/user there, update my database.yml file and then my app was able to work!
