How to check status of PostgreSQL server Mac OS X

Question

How can I tell if my Postgresql server is running or not?

I\'m getting this message:

[~/dev/working/sw] sudo bundle exec rake db:migrate 
rake aborte         


        

Answer 1

It depends on where your postgresql server is installed. You use the pg_ctl to manually start the server like below.

pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
