Ok, it was my fault in the end, user was set to the name of the instance in the config, while it had to be the actual db user.

Thank you and all the best

The sample openacs-config.tcl file from naviserver [1] is setting per default the db_user to the name of the server instance - similar to the sample config file for aolserver and also similar to what you describe.

The install script install-oacs.sh [2] creates among other things the oacs_user with the configured value in postgres and alters the default db_user that value (normally "nsadmin"). This happens in nstall-oacs.sh around line 310. So, an explanation might be, that install-oacs.sh was not run (has not tailored the startup file) or stopped prematurely.

Yes, your explanation fits, I have tweaked the sample and used it as conf after installing.

Thank you again
