Precompiling assets failed, enabling runtime...

Dear Treehouse, I've completed the 2nd Ruby on Rails badge (advanced social features) and everything is working perfectly locally. The issues comes when I git push heroku master, I get the following errors:

All the bundles...

Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
       Running: rake assets:precompile
       rake aborted!
       could not connect to server: Connection refused
       Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
       TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

some failing code here...

Precompiling assets failed, enabling runtime asset compilation Injecting rails31_enable_runtime_asset_compilation

The website is running on heroku, however I feel like I should do something about it. I tried configuring the application.rb to: config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false however it is rejected due to Devise.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey George Petrov that's a really weird error! Try following along here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails-asset-pipeline and see if that helps. There's an option to precompile the assets locally before pushing up to Heroku that might work for you.
