I installed PostGreSQL and then Mautic. In the database configuration screen, I can only choose MySQL. Is there something I need to do to tell Mautic that I am using PostGreSQL?  
  
  
  
I have checked that the database is running an it is. Not sure how to troubleshoot this.

You may not have the PostgreSQL PDO driver installed. If this is on a VPS, see [http://stackoverflow.com/a/10640876](http://stackoverflow.com/a/10640876). If it is a shared host, check with the host to see if they can set it up for you.

Thanks,  
Alan
