You might be OK

There might be nothing to worry about. Check these points:

  • Did you come to this page because of a message you saw in the server console or logs?
  • Is the following text at the start of the error message block?
   ERROR: near "3": syntax error
  • If so, then everything is OK. You don't have to do anything written below and you can safely ignore the error message.
