Webmin Bacula Module error solution


Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to login to the database bacula : FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "bacula". Maybe it is not set up, or the module configuration is incorrect


Change folowing line in pg_hba.conf
My pg_hba.conf was located at /etc/postgresql/version number/main


from

#    TYPE    DATABASE    USER    ADDRESS    METHOD
        local        all                    all                                peer

to

    I've tried everything to get past this error message and the suggestion in your post is the first thing that has worked! - thank you. Only problem is that now that i get past this error, i reach the Webmin Bacula System page but none of the icons or features load underneath the page heading. (the webmin menu on the left still loads as per usual, it's just that i get no Bacula icons - there' nothing i can click on in the center of the page) -- any ideas for what to try next?
