If you’ve tried the usual of:
$ brew services stop postgresql
$ rm /usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid
$ brew services start postgresql # Or: brew services restart postgresql
…and banged your head a lot, you may find it’s your Mac! Go to:
System Settings > General > Login Items and Extensions > Allow in the Background
To check if you have postgres listed and that it is on!
And if your system is a bit messed up (like mine, thank you Apple!) you may even have TWO!!! BOTH of these must be ON!!
Hope this helps someone! ![]()
