Resolved PostgreSQL Installed in Plesk but Not Selectable for Database Creation

[hantoren]

Server operating system version

Debian 11

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.66

I have installed PostgreSQL via Tools & Settings in Plesk. Under Tools & Settings > Database Servers, I can see the PostgreSQL server (localhost) listed with a green checkmark, indicating that it is running correctly.

However, when I try to create a new database for a client under Websites & Domains > Databases, the dropdown for selecting the database type only shows MySQL, and PostgreSQL is not showing.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. Confirmed PostgreSQL is installed and running (systemctl status postgresql shows it’s active).
2. Verified that the server is listed under Tools & Settings > Database Servers with no issues.
3. Restarted Plesk services using sudo systemctl restart psa.
4. Checked the client subscription settings to ensure database creation is enabled.

Is there something I’m missing in the configuration or licensing that would make PostgreSQL unavailable for database creation? Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!
