Hello all– I’m trying to install the latest Nextcloud on Debian Stretch with postgresql and nginx. I installed all of the required dependencies, however I keep getting this error when trying to create the admin account: Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL: permission denied for database “nextcloud” DETAIL: User does not have CONNECT privilege. I have no problems logging into phpPgAdmin with this user. I also altered my pg\_ha.conf by adding this line: local all all trust I also tried to execute this as the postgres user in the psql console GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nextcloud TO nuser; … all to no avail. I have no idea what more I could try. I’d very much appreciate any sort of guidance. ---

I fought with issue like yours for two days strait. And I found cause in my case. I created database manually. But installer script doesn’t like that and fails to assign proper privileges for user is creates in database. After I dropped database allowing installer to create it its way setup was completed successfully. I strongly feel that all nuances like this should be mentioned in manual. ---
