While trying to install Discourse on my laptop (Ubuntu 16.04) using this guide, I got some errors like this:
PG::InsufficientPrivilege: ERROR: permission denied to create extension "hstore"
and:
rails aborted!
ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError: FATAL: database "discourse_test_multisite" does not exist
I got rid of the errors by changing this:
# Postgresql
sudo su postgres
createuser --createdb --superuser -Upostgres $(cat /tmp/username)
psql -c "ALTER USER $(cat /tmp/username) WITH PASSWORD 'password';"
psql -c "create database discourse_development owner $(cat /tmp/username) encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;"
psql -c "create database discourse_test owner $(cat /tmp/username) encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;"
psql -d discourse_development -c "CREATE EXTENSION hstore;"
psql -d discourse_development -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;"
exit
to this:
# Postgresql
sudo su - postgres
createuser --createdb --superuser -Upostgres $(cat /tmp/username)
psql -c "ALTER USER $(cat /tmp/username) WITH PASSWORD 'password';"
psql -c "create database discourse_development owner $(cat /tmp/username) encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;"
psql -c "create database discourse_test owner $(cat /tmp/username) encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;"
psql -c "create database discourse_test_multisite owner $(cat /tmp/username) encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;"
psql -d discourse_development -c "CREATE EXTENSION hstore;"
psql -d discourse_development -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;"
psql -d discourse_test -c "CREATE EXTENSION hstore;"
psql -d discourse_test -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;"
psql -d discourse_test_multisite -c "CREATE EXTENSION hstore;"
psql -d discourse_test_multisite -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;"
exit

I’m too new to Rails/Discourse to know if it’s just my laptop or if I should add them to the docs, but I’ll leave the fix here in case someone else finds it useful. ![:slight_smile:]( ":slight_smile:")
(If it’s something that should go in the docs, let me know and I could make a pull request.)
