Hello Erik,

It is pretty clear from the output that Bacula is unable to connect to
the MySQL server.  I recommend you either download the manual or use the
online html version from bacula.org and go to the chapter on setting up
the MySQL server.  This gives you a number of steps to work through
until hopefully the connection with the server will work.

Best regards,
Kern
