As a first time Pheonix user I followed the Step 1 in the readme and created the app, but when checking to see if I had done it properly I received the following error message numerous times, filling my terminal.

[error] Postgrex.Protocol (#PID<0.363.0>) failed to connect: ** (Postgrex.Error) FATAL 3D000 (invalid_catalog_name): database "chat_dev" does not exist

I understand that the site works correctly as shown in the demo and that this error occurred as I had not created my database yet. However, I wasn't expecting to see a terminal full of errors and I thought it may put some newer users off.

Perhaps you could consider moving Step 6 Create/Configure Database into Step 1 Or noting that when starting the server there will be errors and the reason for them at this time.

@parkhabit great point! (thank you for taking time to open this issue)
we could re-jig the tutorial to instruct people to mix ecto.create sooner
or advise that there will be errors in the terminal until the DB is created ...
What is your preference?

Just ran into this as well. The easiest fix is probably to advise that there will be errors in the terminal until the DB is created!
