I installed bacula via RPM from epel-bacula on a CentOS 5.8 host.  I have the following packages installed:

[root@backup01 bacula]# rpm -qa |grep bacula

bacula-libs-sql-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-storage-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-director-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-libs-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-console-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-client-5.2.10-5.el5

nagios-plugins-bacula-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-common-5.2.10-5.el5

bacula-docs-5.2.10-1.el5

the issue I'm faced with is that bacula-dir fails to start 

bacula.log

----- snip -----

23-Aug 09:22 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula".

23-Aug 09:22 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: postgresql.c:248 Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server. Database=bacula User=bacula

Possible causes: SQL server not running; password incorrect; max_connections exceeded.

23-Aug 09:22 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION

Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

----- snip -----

bacula-dir.conf

----- snip -----

# Generic catalog service

Catalog {

  Name = MyCatalog

# Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver

dbdriver = "dbi:mysql"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport = 3306

dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = ""

}

----- snip -----

I also noticed that regardless of the fact that I'm specifying MySQL bacula is trying to use PostgreSQL.
