Re: [Zabbix-users] can't connect to the db

Hi,

You should specify _correct_ user name for database connection. I think
you already have valid user  - pgsql. Try to set DB_USER to "pgsql".

If this doesn't help, please, add "zabbix" to the list of PosgtreSQL
users and assign necessary permissions (like GRANT DBA TO ZABBIX).

I hope this helps.

Just a small note, if you want to use Zabbix in busy production environment,
I would strongly recommend switch to MySQL. PostgreSQL performance
degrades very fast and even frequent VACUUMing cannot improve things.
