This is for the record.
While creating the FreeBSD package for 5.0.0, I noticed a few new things
to be aware of.
With 5.0.0 comes a new backup catalog script. It parses the
bacula-dir.conf file and extracts what it needs from that. This means
you only need to specify the database connection information in one
place and it is not passed to a script via the command line.
If you see this error while running that script:
25-Jan 16:37 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32500: shell command: run
BeforeJob "/usr/local/share/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
25-Jan 16:37 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32500: BeforeJob: Can't get
catalog information at /usr/local/share/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl
line 129.
25-Jan 16:37 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32500: Error: Runscript:
BeforeJob returned non-zero status=13. ERR=Child exited with code 13
25-Jan 16:37 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32500: Error: Bacula
ducky.unixathome.org-dir 5.0.0 (26Jan10): 25-Jan-2010 16:37:10
Then I suspect the permissions on make_catalog_backup.pl are
insufficient for Bacula to run it. I made mine chown bacula:bacula and
chmod 744:
-rwxr-xr-- 1 bacula bacula 4120 Jan 25 17:10 make_catalog_backup.pl
If you see this error:
25-Jan 16:44 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32502: shell command: run
BeforeJob "/usr/local/share/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
25-Jan 16:44 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32502: BeforeJob: Can't find
your catalog (MyCatalog) in director configuration
25-Jan 16:44 ducky.unixathome.org-dir JobId 32502: Error: Runscript:
BeforeJob returned non-zero status=1. ERR=Child exited with code 1
Then chances are the permissions on bacula-dir.conf or dbcheck are
insufficient. Make sure this command works:
# su -m bacula -c '/usr/local/sbin/dbcheck -B -c
/usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf'
catalog=MyCatalog
db_name=bacula
db_driver=
db_user=bacula
db_password=
db_address=
db_port=0
db_socket=
db_type=PostgreSQL
working_dir=/var/db/bacula
If you get: /usr/local/sbin/dbcheck: Permission denied.
Make sure bacula is allowed to run dbcheck. I use this:
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root bacula 100225 Jan 25 17:12 dbcheck
If you get this, check the permissions on bacula-dir.conf:
26-Jan 01:37 dbcheck: ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:898
Config error: Cannot open config file "/usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf":
Permission denied
I use this:
-rw-r----- 1 root bacula 9095 Jan 25 17:16 bacula-dir.conf
Finally, to be sure, run this command:
su -m bacula -c '/usr/local/share/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog'
and if that runs fine, Bacula should be able to run it.
Also, if during the backup, you see permission errors on pathhierarchy
or pathvisibility then the database upgrade wasn't run as the correct
user. You may have to adjust the owner of the database to match that of
the other tables.
