        You've created the database called "snort" and put the right
parameters (host where postgres is, database to use, password, etc.) in your
config file, haven't you? That's the only thing I can think of that brings
that error :-m

        In case it helps, here's my output line for use with postgres:

output database: log, postgresql, sensor_name=my_sensor user=my_user
        dbname=snortreport password=guess_it host=localhost

        (but only in one line, not two as I've put here)

        Also, maybe you've not configured postgres to listen to TCP/IP
queries, or simply not configured the access to the database :-m Check your
/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf file for the latter, and both this and
/etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf for the former.

        I think I don't forget anything, but in case I do, just ask :-)
