postgres 的 Macports 安装不适用于 ruby​​ on rails

Question

我正在尝试安装 Postgresql，以便与使用 postgres 的现有 Ruby on Rails 项目一起工作。但是，每次我在项目目录中运行$ rails s 以启动本地服务器时，都会收到此错误。

我怀疑这个问题与我的 database.yml 文件中的登录信息或我的 postgres 安装有关。

我使用 macports 和命令 sudo port install postgresql83 postgresql83-server 安装了 postgres，并且 gem 同时运行了 sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg 和 gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/pg_config。

我在 database.yml 文件中尝试了几种用户名/密码的组合，例如我自己的计算机用户名/密码、postgres/空白密码、pg/空白密码、postgres/系统密码，但似乎都没有正在工作。

我能想到的最后一件事是，当我尝试使用创建数据库实例时

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb
sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb
sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/initdb -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb'

按照安装程序的建议，它给了我这个错误：

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
could not identify current directory: Permission denied
could not identify current directory: Permission denied
could not identify current directory: Permission denied
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "initdb".
Check your installation.

我希望这是足够的信息。我发现了几个人们遇到类似问题的问题，但似乎没有一个解决方案对我有用。非常感谢您阅读本文。

我不能保证 Postgres 安装正常，但这里的实际问题是您在 Ruby 1.8 上运行 rails 3.2.9。您遇到的具体错误位于 config/initializers/session_store.rb 中，可以通过将 key: '_Jellyfish_session' 更改为 :key => '_Jellyfish_session' 来修复，但是之后您也可能会遇到其他错误。我认为理论上 Rails 3.2.9 应该与 ruby​​ 1.8 一起使用，但如果可能的话，我建议更新到 1.9。

再看一遍之后，您应该可以通过以下方式使用 1.8 设置 rails 应用程序：

rails new myappname --old-style-hash

这会将所有默认文件设置为使用如下所示的 1.8 样式哈希：

{ :key => 'value' }

而不是像这样的新样式：

{ key: 'value' }

请注意，1.9 支持这两种样式，但 1.8 只支持前者
