Hello,

I am installing Odoo Community 18.0 from GitHub source on Windows 11 with Python 3.12 and PostgreSQL 17.6.

Odoo starts successfully and loads my configuration file correctly.

I verified:

• admin_passwd is loaded correctly (print(config['admin_passwd']) returns the expected value)

• PostgreSQL connection works

• PostgreSQL user has CREATEDB privilege

• Odoo starts on port 8069

• Tried multiple master passwords

• Tried Incognito mode

• Tried both Odoo 18 and Odoo 19

However, whenever I try to create a database from the web interface (http://localhost:8069), I always get:

Database creation error: Access Denied

No additional traceback or error appears in the console.

Has anyone seen this issue before? What else should I check?

Thank you.
