Hey! I am trying to complete the Periodic Table project. For some reason, I had to start it from scratch again, but I am not able to connect to the database it’s showing me an error. I even tried to work on the next project, but the “coderoad:start” always shows me the Periodic Table instructions. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
Your code so far
psql --username=freecodecamp --dbname=periodic_table
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”?

Challenge Information:
Periodic Table Database - Build a Periodic Table Database
did you try opening a new bash terminal from the + plus sign icon first?
When you were reconnecting, did you choose ‘reopen container’ or did you choose ‘rebuild and reopen’. Rebuild and reopen will mess things up after the first time you use it (you’re supposed to use reopen container on subsequent tries)
i was choosing ‘rebuild and reopen’ all the time. But now that i chose only ‘reopen’ , i am still not able to connect to the Database despite using new bash terminal.
if you want to restart or start a new tutorial, I have some steps that can help you do that but they assume you have wsl2 installed (its the linux virtual machine on windows).
If you don’t have wsl2 installed, you can still use my instructions but you should translate them to work on windows powershell (for example some commands like rm -rf would not work on powershell)
