No default keychain

When I login to my admin account on Server I get these keychain error and underneath "Add to Keychain" everywhere it says "(There is no default Keychain)"

When I login to Keychain I get "An error has occurred. Unable to use the current keychain. The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file."

How do I fix this? I tried to create a new keychain file I get "An error occurred while creating a new keychain."

How can i fix this?

First make sure that the permissions on the keychain folder are correct
ls -l ~/Library/

privs on the Keychains folder should be drwxr-xr-x

If you want to try to fix your login.keychain open KeychainAccess and run the Keychain First Aid command from the Keychain menu.

If not just delete the ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain file and create a new one.

Hope this helps
