Hello all,
I am new to Bacula. I have gotten Bacula to run on Ubuntu and am trying to install it on RHES 6 as a production backup solution with no luck.
I am using MySql 5.1 as the database. The Bacula distribution is from Red Hat's extras repository.
I have been able to get Bacula to start but it dies within a minute and leaves the subsys lock in place.
Bat starts but cannot connect, logs indicate the other daemons cannot connect as well.
I have tried using a FQDN, ip address and localhost in the configuration files requiring an address.
I have used the OLD_PASSWORD() function in mysql to see if the password being passed was an issue.
Below is the contents of my configuration files. If you would, please take a look and let me know where I'm messing up.
TIA
Bill
