Did you do a complete new installation? 
With a new database created in MySQL; 
Or did you use the postgres database & export it to an .sql backup???
If you used an exported data base, did you run update.php command
from /yourwikiname/maintenance/?? If not do so. 
If you used an exported data base, MY Experience is that you need to use
PhpMyAdmin or some other interface to 'import the backup into your newly
created MySQL database.
If you are starting from a fresh install with a new basically empty
database. then check to see if this is an Extension error message. You
may have installed an extension that is not working properly. Disable it
by commenting it out in LocalSettings.php then restart apache or what
ever web server your using & check it again.
Good Luck
