[Bacula-users] Unable to run bacula-dir

Hi everyone,

I'm new to bacula and have been trying to run it whole day today. I have installed the version 2.4.4 (after facing the same problems as listed below with 3.0.0). The configure, make and make install went fine. The configure command used was:
CFLAGS="-g -Wall"   ./configure \
     --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
     --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
     --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
     --with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
     --with-mysql \
     --with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
     --with-dump-email=$USER \
   --enable-bat

After this, trying to run ./bacula start actually created 3 processes - one each for storage daemon, file daemon and the director daemon:
[root@newglfs01 bin]# ./bacula start
Starting the Bacula Storage daemon
Starting the Bacula File daemon
Starting the Bacula Director daemon
[root@newglfs01 bin]# ps aux | grep bacula
root     24180 0.0 0.0 96092   860 ?        Ssl 02:07   0:00 /root/bacula/bin/bacula-sd -v -c /root/bacula/bin/bacula-sd.conf
root     24190 0.0 0.0 85684   656 ?        Ssl 02:07   0:00 /root/bacula/bin/bacula-fd -v -c /root/bacula/bin/bacula-fd.conf
root     24199 0.0 0.0 109396 1320 ?        Ss   02:07   0:00 /root/bacula/bin/bacula-dir -v -c /root/bacula/bin/bacula-dir.conf
root     24201 0.0 0.0 61168   720 pts/1    S+   02:07   0:00 grep bacula

However, when I try starting the bcosole program, it exits with the following error message:
[root@newglfs01 bin]# ./bconsole
Connecting to Director newglfs01:9101
15-Apr 02:07 bconsole JobId 0: Fatal error: bsock.c:129 Unable to connect to Director daemon on newglfs01:9101. ERR=Connection refused

Strangely, the bacula-dir daemon vanishes after this point. So, I checked the configuration using the following command:
[root@newglfs01 bin]# ./bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf
bacula-dir: dird.c:878 Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula".
bacula-dir: dird.c:883 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.
15-Apr 02:04 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
Please correct configuration file: bacula-dir.conf

However, I'm perfectly able to connect to the mysql server and the bacula database using the username "bacula". Following is the output of the show grants on the mysql client:
mysql> show grants for 'bacula';

The only change I made was to insert the password 'bacula' in the bacula-dir.conf file in the CATALOG section. And this was after it didn't work without passwords. The relevant section of the bacula-dir.conf file is:
# Generic catalog service
Catalog {
Name = MyCatalog
dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "bacula"
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards
Chandranshu
