Building a rails app on heroku (locally). Following their tutorials for rails, and installing postgres locally.

When ever I run the server or generate a migration I get the following err:

LoadError (Could not load 'active_record/connection_adapters/posgtres_adapter'. Make sure that the adapter in config/database.yml is valid. If you use an adapter other than 'mysql', 'mysql2', 'postgresql' or 'sqlite3' add the necessary adapter gem to the Gemfile.):

database.yml:

default: &default
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  pool: 5

development:
  <<: *default
  database: myapp_development
  username: Name
  password: secret
  host: localhost

Gem file has: gem 'rails' '4.2.0', and gem 'pg' installed

my machine's OS: Windows 64x

Any and all help appreciated.

Doubtful this is the same issue you are having but, posting these details in case it gives a lead. I'm using Windows 10

I had the same error message. To troubleshoot, I tried to do a reinstall of pg with 'gem install pg' but a file was locked.

Found I had a process still using one of the PG files and shut down the process, deleted the entire pg directory found at C:\Ruby200-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\pg-0.18.3-x64-mingw32

Reran 'gem install pg' rake db:setup, rake db:create, rake db:migrate and the error was gone.
