I have followed the instructions here: https://docs.c9.io/setting_up_postgresql.html and set up

Answer 1

The postgresql in cloud9 is setup to authenticate with peer when localhost connection. So the quickly resolution is change the user in your database.yaml to current user. In my case the name of user is ubuntu. To see your current user use the command

$ echo $USER

So a list of command in terminal is .

$ sudo su - postgres
$ createuser ubuntu -dslP
$ Enter password for new role: **same password from your yaml file**
$ Enter it again:

Set your yaml file like this

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: SQL_ASCII
  database: cc_database
  pool: 5
  username: ubuntu
  password: password

Now you can run

rake db:create
rake db:migrate
