This installation as well gave me the same error on trying to create a new database. It hung up on \connect for some reason but that was easy to manually get around. Update: I just reinstalled the homebrew version and tried to import my alternative postgres.app export. How can I fix this? Obviously I need to be able to make new databases.

I'm not sure how to find out what the difference is between these two slightly different versions, which are essentially the same thing. I'm thinking I could make a backup and try to fix this by deleting both versions, then going back to homebrew to start again with Postgres 12. I have no clue why this is happening, but I want to fix it. The database cannot be made for some reason, even though it's reporting having done so.

In any case the database ( Postgres 12) is now running and I am seeing an issue with trying to create a new database. I moved to the GUI postgres.app which just seemed like a front for the underlying postgres, so I didn't think much had changed.

It's a Mac M1 which had a bit of an issue using homebrew to install postgres when I first started working on this machine.
