Postgres not running with Homebrew
If you have the latest Apple M1 computer and you used homebrew to install postgres this quick tutorial might help you out.
We can't find the internet
Attempting to reconnect
Something went wrong!
Hang in there while we get back on track
My new Apple M1 has sometimes restarted itself. As a result I have run into situations where I’m getting errors that I cannot connect to my Postgres on my laptop.
$ psql
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections
...
If you used homebrew to install postgres you could try the following command to restart the server, but it might not work.
brew services restart postgresqlIf you still cannot connect then you need to delete the PID.
If you are using homebrew it looks like they have moved this in a different place on Apple M1 computers. Here is my path and the command I use in order to do so.
rm /opt/homebrew/var/postgres postmaster.pidThen restart the service
brew services restart postgresqlFinished.
