I'm converting my data base from sqlite3 to PostgreSQL in my rails project, so I follow this tutorial : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/sqlite3

I suceed to make all the needed changes but at the end when I want to make the command : 

rake db:create 
rake db:migrate

I have theses errors : 

   FATAL:  role "ubuntu" does not exist

You should follow this guide on setting up Postgres and Rails:

This section of the tutorial shows how to set up a user for Postgres:

Setting Up Postgres Create a Postgres user for the Rails app we'll create in the next step. To do this, switch into the Postgres user:

su - postgres Then create a user (or a "role", as Postgres calls it):

create role myapp with createdb login password 'password1'

However, you should use ubuntu instead of myapp to create the necessary role.

Your database doesn't have the role 'ubuntu.' Which is what you put as your user in your database.yml file. You'll have to create it. While in postgres run: 

  CREATE ROLE ubuntu WITH LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'type-your-password' CREATEDB;

You can then alter the role permissions with ALTER ROLE. Such allowing user to create roles and databases with something like:

   ALTER ROLE owlphabet CREATEROLE CREATEDB REPLICATION SUPERUSER;

I found this link very useful. 

 http://blog.jasonmeridth.com/2012/10/02/postgresql-command-line-cheat-sheet.html

Also you didn't include the role/user in your database.yml - You'll need to make them look something like this:

    development:
    adapter: postgresql
    encoding: unicode
    database: my_data_base_development
    pool: 5
    username: ubuntu
    password: type_your_password
    host: localhost

Change for production and test too of course.
