Error: Permission denied when trying to create database django

Question

I'm trying to create a database for a django project and I'm getting the following error:

(blog-venv)vagrant@precise64:/vagrant/django_projects/microblog$ createdb microblog createdb: database creation failed: ERROR: permission denied to create database

I'm working in a vagrant/virtualbox environment.

Please help.

thanks.
