当我尝试在 Ubuntu 中启动 Kong 时出现以下错误
kong start [-c /path/to/kong.conf]
prefix directory /usr/local/kong not found, trying to create it
2017/11/05 21:11:41 [warn] ulimit is currently set to "1024". For better performance set it to at least "4096" using "ulimit -n"
Error: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/pgmoon/init.lua:271: missing password, required for connect
我错过了什么吗？
在您的 psql 上运行以下命令。
CREATE USER kong; CREATE DATABASE kong OWNER kong;
ALTER USER kong WITH PASSWORD 'password';
创建具有以下内容的 kong.config。
pg_user = kong
pg_password = password
运行迁移并启动 kong（可能需要 sudo）
$ kong migrations up -c kong.config
$ kong start -c kong.config
您的命令是正确的，您只需[从命令中删除“”。这表明 kong-documentaion 中的可选参数。所以正确的命令就是：
kong start -c /path/to/your/kong.conf
kong.conf确保事先更新并取消注释以下字段：
database = postgres (as in your case)
pg_host = your_host_address (127.0.0.1 by default)
pg_port = your_psql_port_address (5432 by default)
pg_user = your_psql_db_user (kong as per documentation of kong)
pg_password = your_psql_db_user's_password
pg_database = your_db_for_kong (kong as per documentation of kong)
如果建议的解决方案对您有所帮助，请接受它作为答案来结束问题。谢谢！
我有同样的错误，可能是你的 postgresql 版本太旧了：
kong start -c kong.conf 错误：[postgres 错误] Kong 需要 PostgreSQL 9.5 或更高版本（当前使用 9.2）
就我而言，我通过提供 kong.conf 文件的自定义路径来尝试该kong migrations bootstrap命令，但我得到了完全相同的错误：missing password, required for connect
kong migrations bootstrap在我看到的详细日志中，该命令总是在一组预定义的路径中查找 conf 文件
kong migrations bootstrap ./kong.conf --v
2021/02/05 09:51:52 [verbose] Kong: 2.3.1
2021/02/05 09:51:52 [verbose] no config file found at /etc/kong/kong.conf
2021/02/05 09:51:52 [verbose] no config file found at /etc/kong.conf
2021/02/05 09:51:52 [verbose] no config file, skip loading
所以我将 kong.conf 文件复制到 /etc/kong/ 并开始正常工作
once you go with @beebek's solution then you need to change the corresponding changes on the config files and then bootstrap the migrations with the command
kong migrations bootstrap
