Hi All, I am trying to set up Discourse on Windows subsystem for Linux and keep running into this issue. I must have gone through the steps at least 3 times now. I got to the part of starting redis and postgres and successfully got them running. And then I try to run the bundle exec rake db:creat…

Is this a Dev install, or are you looking to host a live instance on it?

Yup. Followed all the steps. Made sure my Ubuntu was downloaded properly and updated. Cloned the repo, created postgres role and installed the bundle in my project folder.

Looks like postgresql isn’t running. Have you tried: sudo service postgresql start?

Yes. I’ve tried it many times now and then running the bundle exec.

Can you connect to the db manually via psql?

This is the error I get when I enter psql. [psqlnotconnect]

What does sudo service postgresql status returns?

No connection to db issue
