I have a small server running Ubuntu Lucid, on which I have
installed Webmin 1.550 and Bacula 5.0.1 and MySQL (applications
installed using apt-get). I am backing up to a file share on
another machine, and the set up basically works. I still need
to fine tune a few things, but I can backup, etc. However,
getting to this point was a bit ugly, because the Bacula
documentation does not entirely agree with the software that I
have installed. For example, I cannot find drop_bacula_tables
or make_bacula_tables scripts, and a bit of Googling suggests
that those scripts don't get installed on Ubuntu, for no
apparent reason. Furthermore, the Start and Stop Bacula buttons
in Webmin appear to start/stop the bacula-dir process, but not
the fd or sd processes. I can start and stop everything on the
command line, but I'm going to have to hand this system over to
semi-technical people shortly, and they may not cope with the
Linux command line (which is why I used Webmin in the first
place).
Obviously the start/stop thing is a Webmin issue, but I am
hoping that someone on this list will already have fought this
particular battle, and can tell me how they did it.
I have considered upgrading Bacula to 5.0.3, but I don't want
to find that I am opening a new can of worms by doing so. Does
anyone have any guidance on the Bacula upgrade experience on
Lucid? I would like to upgrade the machine itself, but I need a
decent backup before I can attempt that.
So: Ubuntu Lucid. Is there anyway to get the missing
database scripts, any simple fix to starting and stopping Bacula
via Webmin, and will I have a better experience with Bacula
5.0.3?
Thanks and regards
Melodie

Hi Melodie,
I have always built Bacula from source on Ubuntu for this reason.
Below is the script I use configure the build. I do not use Webmin,
you may have to modify this to build that. I have always found
building the current version, easier then using the ubuntu repo
versions.
#!/bin/bash
# run ./my-conf (this script)
# run make
# run make install
# need libmysqlclient15-dev
# need libqt4-dev
basedir="/opt/bacula-5.0.3"
workindir="$basedir/working"
make distclean
CFLAGS="-g -O2" \
./configure \
--sbindir=$basedir/bin \
--sysconfdir=$basedir/etc \
--mandir=$basedir/bin \
--with-pid-dir=$workingdir \
--with-subsys-dir=$workingdir \
--with-working-dir=$workindir \
--with-scriptdir=$basedir/bin \
--with-qwt=../src/qt-console/qwt \
--enable-smartalloc \
--enable-batch-insert \
--enable-large-file \
--disable-ipv6 \
--with-open-ssl \
--with-mysql
