Description of changes:
Folks may not remember how overwhelming it is to get started with AWS. In hindsight, after a couple of Google searches for the error you do eventually find a solution.
When creating the RDS instance you are prompted for a database name. This name turns out to be the instance name, not the database name. When using the commands for
psql
you will get an error along the lines of "the database name does not exist", which is in fact, true.A database is created by default when there is no additional configuration and its name is
postgres
. I had this issue and usingpostgres
asdbname
solved my problem.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that you can use, modify, copy, and redistribute this contribution, under the terms of your choice.
