Re: [Bacula-users] Can't run bacula any more.

To delimite the problem:

Check MySQL/MariaDB it's running in the host.

ps axu|grep mysql

root 12832 0.0 0.0 23068 3456 ? S mar01 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/mysqld_safe

mysql 12967 0.1 0.9 613220 76684 ? Sl mar01 10:49 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib/mysql/plugin --user=mysql --skip-log-error --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --port=3306

Check the username Bacula exists in the Catalog Server (on mysql prompt = use mysql; select * from user where User='bacula';)

Check the username Bacula has the right permissions to access the bacula database.

If you run the make_bacula_database, make_bacula_tables and grant_bacula_privileges scripts maybe would be safe to set a password to the user bacula and configure it into the bacula-dir.conf too.

Hi Francisco,

This is my catalogue definition:

#
# Generic catalog service
#
Catalog {
Name = MyCatalog
dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = ""
}

I don't think there is any dbpassword. I tried to copy as much as
possible from my old machine which does not use dbpassword and my tests
for mysql connect seems to indicate that dbpassword is not needed.

It's definitely not a selinux problem.
