I am trying to connect my Rails app to Postgres, and I keep getting this issue:
PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: No such file or directory (PG::ConnectionBad)
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?ⓘ Deployment information is only viewable by project members and Railway employees.

Following up here - curious if this is a platform issue or something easy that's usually debuggable? Need to explore other options if it's the former.

Hey Will,
It's looking like the data tab shows that your DB is working fine: https://railway.com/project/fbd7347d-1537-468a-bd13-0aaef347e82a/service/7bf9d004-bdae-4b3b-8bbd-19e70a09ac83/data?environmentId=cab417c7-1d51-4ad9-8b19-a9ed65aea639
Can you tell me how you are connecting to the DB?

I am also on a meet bridge if you's like to debug this in realtime with me: https://meet.google.com/hnx-zxgj-uta

Exfiling- it seems that the variable when set to production made ActiveRecord freak out and make it unable to connect to the DB. Setting it to development made it work- now that I think of it, there may be some IPv6 weirdness on the part of Rails - but we can have smarter people than I look into that.
Marking as solved.
