I've been trying to get my app running for a couple of days now, and all previous problems were answered by searching, but I can't find a solution for this problem.
So I managed to deploy my app to a webhost following this guide: https://gorails.com/deploy/ubuntu/14.04
now I've come to the step were I need to perform the following action:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:create
I do this SSHing to deploy@[server IP] and going into the current folder, but it throws the following error:
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"postgresql", "encoding"=>"unicode", "database"=>"dbblog", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"postgres", "password"=>"[removed]", "host"=>"localhost"}
this is the database.yml:
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: dbblog
pool: 5
username: postgres
password: [password removed!]
host: localhost
I used the same host as the writer of the guide author, and followed the same steps, so I don't get what I'm doing wrong.
I hope somebody can help me and thanks in advance!
