Subject: Re: [otrs] Installation documentation somewhat bias away from 
PostgreSQL

Hi Paul,

You're right that most emphasis is on running OTRS on MySQL - but also most 
people deploy OTRS on MySQL. This could be just because the emphasis of the 
documentation of course...

Although for upcoming OTRS 3.3 we have improved the web installer so you can 
also use it for deploying OTRS on PostgreSQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
I think the best instructions for how to deploy on PostgreSQL are
here: https://github.com/OTRS/otrs/blob/rel-3_2/README.database.md

If you have trouble with 'otrs' user on startup, this is because the PostgreSQL 
server typically uses 'ident' authentication by default on a stock install. 
This means the linux user id is used for database permissions; but apache 
typically does not run under the 'otrs'  user that is running the cron jobs. 
You can fix it by changing the authentication mode of PostgreSQL (as pointed to 
in the link above).
Alternatively you can also change the user that runs the web server.
