pf.conf.default is the default config, so remove the stuff you added in
pf.conf and copy and paste that:
[database]
#
# database.pass
#
# Password for the mysql database used by PacketFence.
pass=packet
#
# database.db
#
# Name of the mysql database used by PacketFence.
db=pf
#
# database.user
#
# Username of the account with access to the mysql database used by
PacketFence.
user=pf
in pf.conf (btw change with your correct parameters).

Fabrice
