A few days ago, I was able to successfully install Postgresql and create/migrate my databases over from SQLite (in preparation for deploying my Rails 4 app)...or so I thought.
I restarted my server, but when I try to access my app, I get this error:
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"?
I've seen several similar answered questions on SO, but they all involve Macs. Since i'm using the Cloud 9 IDE instead, I thought there might be differences (for instance, the mentions of localhost are probably not relevant, because that's not how I access the app currently on c9.io.)
According to the answers on the other questions, I tried this in my terminal:
sudo ps auxw | grep post
which gave me:
ubuntu 2527 0.0 0.0 10552 888 pts/5 S+ 15:21 0:00 grep --color=auto post
then I tried:
sudo find / -name .s.PGSQL.5432 -ls
and I got:

Here is the full trace of my server:

It doesn't look like postgresql is running. Perhaps it is not set to auto start. One reason for this can be if postgresql wasn't cleanly shutdown on the last run, and leaves a pid file laying around.
Try
sudo service postgresql start
and see if it comes back, and just make sure that you shut the vm down (so the stop scripts can run) as opposed to just powering it off.
