Ecto issue, not sure how to do this?
Hello,
I am. very new to Elixir lang I have only been doing it for about 2 weeks. I recently started following this tutorial todo list, and I am running into errors, everything was fine until timestamp 3:15 where “mix ecto.setup” is introduced. When I run this I immediately get
this error below?
00:40:53.173 [error] GenServer #PID<0.289.0> terminating
** (Postgrex.Error) FATAL 28000 (invalid_authorization_specification) role “postgres” does not exist

** (Mix) The database for LiveViewTodos.Repo couldn’t be created: killed`
I am not sure how to fix it, I tried reinstalling and redoing, but nothing will get rid of this error. I created my own postgres Database on my local machine. How can connect it with the new project I am unable to continue the tutorial. I want to know what am I doing wrong? how can I fix this and continue my tutorial?

Some Postgres installations don’t set it up properly for reasons unknown. You’ll have to create the default superuser yourself.

Have a look at this thread Jimmy - looks like you don’t have a postgres user:

Thanks, guys I found the solution. It turns out I didn’t have the correct User name and password!
