There is an issue while configuring PostgreSQL in phoenix,
I have created the database mentioned in config/dev.exs,
I am able to connect to this PostgreSQL through python code as well. But while initializing connection through phx, it erroring out 
phoenix_elixir/oops/rumbl$ mix ecto.create
==> gettext
Compiling 1 file (.yrl)
/usr/lib/erlang/lib/parsetools-2.2/include/yeccpre.hrl: no such file or directory
could not compile dependency :gettext, “mix compile” failed. You can recompile this dependency with “mix deps.compile gettext”, update it with “mix deps.update gettext” or clean it with “mix deps.clean gettext”
phoenix_elixir/oops/rumbl$ ls
assets _build config deps lib mix.exs mix.lock priv README.md test

Maybe you generated the app with an older generator? Can you show your Erlang and Elixir versions, and what does
mix archivereturn?NobbZ
It seems as if your erlang installation misses the
parsetoolsapplication. Usually its an erlang core library, but some linux distributions split those into separate packages.You need to install
erlang-parsetoolsor how it is called in your distributions ecosystem.dimitarvp
Yep, in those cases using
asdfsolves most if not all issues really.asadahsan
Go and install
