I figured this out the Postgresql SQL account that is in Config.pm has to have superuser rights for some reason. If I give the otrsdb user account superuser in PGAdmin3 it works fine now. This doesn't make sense but it is working. I figured it was permissions related but not SQL permissions related. *mysql server option works fine I can login. If i put a postgresql server i get: [root@help bin]# ./CheckDB.pl DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: permission denied for relation valid at /opt/otrs/Kernel/System/DB.pm line 561. ERROR: OTRS-CheckDB-10 Perl: 5.8.8 OS: linux Time: Wed Sep 3 04:37:51 2008 Message: ERROR: permission denied for relation valid, SQL: 'SELECT * FROM valid' Traceback (25060): Module: ./CheckDB.pl (v1.20) Line: 62 DBD::Pg::st fetchrow_array failed: no statement executing at /opt/otrs/Kernel/System/DB.pm line 624.

Any pointers? Rudi Schmitz*
