How are you certain that > the Debian package did, and that neither you or some other program did? This is a fresh install. The directory /etc/bacula/ doesn't exist at all before the install. I just did a fresh install on my workstation. See the attached log file for the hole process. The second configuration file (.dist) was not created at all at the install, but the install has failed as it was described in bug #441995. So, I've commented the "USE ..." line and executed a "dpkg-reconfigure bacula-director-mysql" which now will succeed. In conclussion, the second configuration file bacula-dir.conf.dist is a side effect for bug #441995 which I hope to be fixed for lenny. The problem is that at reconfiguration it creates/modifies the /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf.dist file instead of /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf.

Configuring bacula-director-mysql --------------------------------- bacula-director-mysql must have a database installed and configured before it can be used. If you like, this can be handled with dbconfig-common. If you are an advanced database administrator and know that you want to perform this configuration manually, or if your database has already been installed and configured, you should refuse this option. Details on what needs to be done should most likely be provided in /usr/share/doc/bacula-director-mysql. Otherwise, you should probably choose this option. Configure database for bacula-director-mysql with dbconfig-common? yes What is the password for the administrative account with which this package should create its MySQL database and user? Password of your database's administrative user: Please provide a password for bacula-director-mysql to register with the database server. If left blank, a random password will be generated for you. MySQL application password for bacula-director-mysql: dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/bacula-director-mysql.conf Creating config file /etc/dbconfig-common/bacula-director-mysql.conf with new version ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). unable to connect to mysql server. error encountered creating user: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Bacula Director --------------- An error seems to have occurred while installing the database. If it's of any help, this was the error encountered: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) At this point, you have the option to retry or abort the operation. If you choose "retry", you will be prompted with all the configuration questions once more and another attempt will be made at performing the operation. "retry (skip questions)" will immediately attempt the operation again, skipping all questions. If you choose "abort", the operation will fail and you will need to downgrade, reinstall, reconfigure this package, or otherwise manually intervene to continue using it. If you choose "ignore", the operation will continue, ignoring further errors from dbconfig-common. 1. abort 2. retry 3. retry (skip questions) 4. ignore Error installing database for bacula-director-mysql.

If you do not wish to do so (if you are reconfiguring the package for unrelated reasons), you should not select this option. Re-install database for bacula-director-mysql? yes By default, bacula-director-mysql will be configured to use a MySQL server through a local unix socket (this provides the best performance). However, if you would like to connect with a different method, or to a different server entirely, select an option from the choices below. 1. unix socket 2. tcp/ip Connection method for MySQL database of bacula-director-mysql: 2 Please provide the hostname of a remote MySQL server. Note: you must have already arranged for the administrative account to be able to remotely create databases and grant privileges. Host running the MySQL server for bacula-director-mysql: localhost If the MySQL database on the remote host is running on a non-standard port, this is your opportunity to specify what it is. To use the default port, leave this field blank. Port number for the MySQL service: What is the name of the account with which this package should perform administrative actions? This user is the one which is able to create new database users. For MySQL, this is almost always "root". Note that this is NOT the same as the UNIX login 'root'. Name of your database's administrative user: root What is the password for the administrative account with which this package should create its MySQL database and user? Password of your database's administrative user: Please provide a MySQL username for bacula-director-mysql to register with the database server. A MySQL user is not necessarily the same as a system login, especially if the database is on a remote server. This is the user which will own the database, tables and other objects to be created by this installation. This user will have complete freedom to insert, change or delete data in the database.
