psql: FATAL: role “vagrant” does not exist

Question

I have been trying to set up vagrant but I am getting this error. I will list out my installation method. Please suggest changes where you feel they are needed.

-Installed virtual box
sudo apt-get install virtual box

-Downloaded .deb package from vagrant website

-Installed it using
sudo dpkg -i (package_name)

-then I selected the vagrant folder in the fullstack folder and
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

then I did :
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32: cd /vagrant/forumvagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/vagrant/forum$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-commonvagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/vagrant/forum$ sudo apt-get install postgres-xc-client

Then finally:
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/vagrant/forum$ psqlpsql: FATAL: role "vagrant" does not exist

Sure, you haven't set up a Postgres role that corresponds to your current user (which is vagrant). postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/user-manag.html — May 24 '15 at 13:09

1)First exit the vagrant prompt

exit

2) Halt the vagrant instance

vagrant halt

3)Destroy the vagrant instance

vagrant destroy

4)Create a new instance

vagrant up

This might solve it. It atleast did for me.(Tried it)

This is happening because there is no role specified in postgres. When there is no role specified, it tries to use the username of the account as the default role and hence your error. So, now, you could either create a role in postgres for the vagrant user or just use the postgres user itself. So, first, login with the postgres user:

psql -U postgres

then, create a role for the user vagrant

CREATE ROLE vagrant LOGIN;

In case, if you want it with a password, use:

CREATE USER vagrant WITH PASSWORD 'password';

or

CREATE ROLE vagrant WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'password';

CREATE USER is the same as CREATE ROLE with the exception that USER implies LOGIN.

postgres: unrecognized service – Siddhant Loya May 24 '15 at 13:48

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib; and then repeat the steps in the answer. Looks like a postgres installation issue. – Siddharth Shukla May 24 '15 at 13:59

After I run psql -U postgres it gives this error:

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

You need to change to the postgres user and give vagrant superuser access.

sudo su - postgres
createuser vagrant -s
exit  # exit from postgres user back into vagrant

You can do everything with with vagrant now.

You are trying to connect to postgresql using vagrant user. In this case, postgresql y looking for the corresponding vagrant role (if not specified, the default role for a user is it's username). However, looks like there is no such role created.

You can create the role, or try for example a login using the postgres user:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/vagrant/forum$ psql -U postgres

You can also specify the databasename you want to connect to:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/vagrant/forum$ psql -U postgres -d DATABASENAME

-bash: vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/vagrant/forum$: No such file or directory – Siddhant Loya May 24 '15 at 13:26

That's the path specified in the question. Simply try to type psql the command: psql -U postgres -d DATABASENAME – Federico Cristina May 24 '15 at 13:29
