Not sure where to go from here. Thoughts? MySQL has a similar configuration option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf (bind-address).. go change that one. You may also have to look into skip-networking dependent on the version of mysql you use.

Looking in /etc/bacula is a good start. What you're looking for is 'make_mysql_tables' in particular.

Thanks for that Bruno. I've wiped and reinstalled my Ubuntu partition. Luckily I had .tar'ed my clean install. So I'm back to a clean slate.

The only requirement is that the SD password be the same wherever it is used, and so on. So when you're setting up a bacula-fd.conf on client wazoo and putting in that Foobar-dir is allowed to connect to it using password Indigo, then the bacula-dir.conf on foobar needs to say that the Director's name is Foobar-dir, and the Client record for wazoo needs to say that the password to be used with that Client is Indigo. Does that make sense?

Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?
From all that is passing or trespassing through this thread, a passing thought comes to me: I don't think you are changing the right conf files - or you may have multiple executables and they are not looking at where the conf files are. The hint that the hunch is based on is the restart does not restart all services. So, here is a quick way of finding out which file your fd executable is pointing to - look at(edit) the bacula-ctl-fd file. The top few lines of mine looks like: === BACFDBIN=/usr/local/sbin BACFDCFG=/usr/local/etc PIDDIR=/var/run SUBSYSDIR=/var/db/bacula/working FD_PORT=9102 === So, the bacula-fd executable should be in /usr/local/sbin. The bacula-fd.conf should be in /usr/local/etc and so on. BTW, You can take the same fd executable, the same fd ctl and fd conf and copy them on any client(same OS) and fiddle with the ctl and conf files and have it run.

I followed a guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bacula The first issue is I cannot connect to the console using bconsole. The error cited is: Fatal error: bsock.c:129 Unable to connect to Director daemon on localhost:9101. ERR=Connection refused Whilst looking that one up, I was tailing /var/log/bacula/log and noticed: 31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula". 31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: mysql.c:194 Unable to connect to MySQL server. Database=bacula User=bacula MySQL connect failed either server not running or your authorization is incorrect. 31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf In MySQL there actually is no bacula database, so I created it and still got the same error. I also checked that the bacula password for MySQL and the password defined in /bacula-dir.conf were synced. Seeing as how these seem to be serious errors, should I wipe and restart? Or do you think these could be fixable?

It looks like you have either: * A firewall blocking of you installation * Not configured mysql/bacula to listen to other than 127.0.0.1 Go doublecheck both things and you'll get forward. -- jesper -- The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?
Oh no I wasn't implying that the list is slow! As a matter of fact I joined the list and watched the issues and responses for about a week before deciding on bacula as my solution. The list here is great! I do not have a firewall, and I'll try checking the configs as you suggested. =) Thank you, Eric Jesper Krogh wrote: Eric Downing wrote: OK, giving up.

Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?
Ok in my bacula-dir.conf file there was an entry for 'diraddress=127.0.0.1' however commented that out earlier by myself upon a suggestion I read somewhere. I uncommented it and changed it to the local IP. I restarted bacula-director and tried to bconsole in with the same results. Additionally, netstat -a|grep 3306 checking for MySQL didn't show, then the same command but used the bacula ports, and no dice. in /etc/services the bacula services are listed. Furthermore ps -Af shows nothing Bacula or MySQL related. I am unfamiliar with MySQL however I have used MSSQL a fair amount in the past (GUI stuff though). My box running Ubuntu is CLI only. Not sure where to go from here. Thoughts? Thanks, Eric Eric Downing wrote: Oh no I wasn't implying that the list is slow!
