Gary,
I'm using bacula 5.0.2 so there may be some differences in the
directives names from the version you are using. For example I use
dbuser and it seems like using just "user" works for you. What I would
try next is to add dbport (if it exists for your version of Bacula).
Verify what port postgres is using:
# grep postgres /etc/services
postgres 5432/tcp
postgres 5432/udp
# netstat -lnt | grep 5432
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Here is my Catalog definition:
Catalog {
Name = MainCatalog
dbdriver = "dbi:postgresql"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport = 5432
dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "****"
}
Hope that helps
