I have installed Bacula 11.0.5 on my new installation of OpenSuse 15.3 but I am struggling to understand why Bacula cannot connect to mysql. Initially the problem seemed to be connected with the mysql socket. When akonadi starts it uses a mysql socket at /run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket and I think the director was trying to connect to mysql using the default location for the socket at
/run/mysql/mysql.sock. So I put dbsocket = /run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket in the Catalog definition but now when I start the director with debug output I get this: vivaldi:/opt/bacula/etc # ../bin/bacula-dir -d 99 -f -c bacula-dir.conf bacula-dir: dird.c:300-0 Debug level = 99 bacula-dir: address_conf.c:289-0 Initaddr 0.0.0.0:9101 bacula-dir: dir_plugins.c:151-0 Load Director plugins bacula-dir: dir_plugins.c:153-0 No Director plugin directory! bacula-dir: mysql.c:242-0 mysql_init done bacula-dir: mysql.c:285-0 mysql_real_connect done bacula-dir: mysql.c:287-0 db_user=bacula db_name=bacula db_password= bacula-dir: mysql.c:297-0 Error 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'bacula' bacula-dir: dird.c:1458-0 Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula". bacula-dir: dird.c:1463-0 mysql.c:293 Unable to connect to MySQL server.
