After Installation can't connect to PostgreSQL

[CK_9]

Hi,

when installing Veeam Backup for Salesforce i install everything like written in the user guide.
Everything works until i have to connect to the PostgreSQL Database-Step.
It says Unable to connect to Database. Please check your server address localhost.

It can't resolve the localhost ? 127.0.0.1, DNS-Name and IP also not working
PaloAlto Firewall doesn't block anything and CentOS firewall is already disabled for this step.

Is there any solution or ideas to this?

Best regards
real CK9

Are you using a local install of PostgreSQL? or remote?

@CK_9 You cannot ping 127.0.0.1? Do you have an IP which is not 169...? I would guess from this that there is an issue in the networking part of that server. Can the server ping other servers in your network?

I used the Veeam installation script, which includes the PostgreSQL.
It seems that the server did not has any PostgreSQL services running after successful installation and beeing already in the Web UI.

PostgreSQL did not download and install the package, we oversaw that.
It just didn't exist. we now ran it again and PostgreSQL was installed and connected.

The script just didn't point it out and said "... PostgreSQL was configured successfully."
