Postgres No permission to create user

Question

I am unable to use rails with postgres. The database wont create:

sayth@sayth-TravelMate-5740G:~/testapp2$ rake db:create:all
PG::InsufficientPrivilege: ERROR:           


        

Answer 1

Add this using during gitlab_ci DB setup. I solve the problem as described by @Audrius Meškauskas on Ubuntu 12.04:

Connect as Admin

sudo -u postgres psql -d template1

Alter role

ALTER ROLE gitlab_ci WITH CREATEDB;

Re-run the task

sudo -u gitlab_ci -H bundle exec rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=production
