Build a Database of Video Game Characters - Build a Database of Video Game Characters

Tell us what’s happening:

I accidentaly closed the whole VScode window when i was halfway through the Build a Database of Video Game characters project. And now I am not able to connect with the database.
When I enter this command: psql --username=freecodecamp --dbname=postgres
psql: error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket “/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432”?
I have tried reseting the lesson!

I accidentally closed the entire VSCode window while I was working on the “Build a Database of Video Game Characters” project. Now, I am unable to connect to the database.

When I enter the following command: psql --username=freecodecamp --dbname=postgres

I receive this error message:

psql: error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

Is the server running locally and accepting

connections on Unix domain socket “/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432”?I have also tried resetting the lesson, but the issue persists.

Happy coding
