Hi Ben,

I tried to understand the start script, and it produces this start-string:

daemon bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

The daemon function is located in /etc/init.d/functions, but this is one level too hard for me.

The entry in the logfile:

 

03-Dec 18:18 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula".

03-Dec 18:18 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: postgresql.c:227 Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server. Database=bacula User=bacula

Possible causes: SQL server not running; password incorrect; max_connections exceeded.

03-Dec 18:18 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION

Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

 

Best regards,

 

 

Hi Rainer,

You're going to have to do some good old fashioned debug to work this out. Check the logs, try running the exact commands the init script executes (make sure to do it as the same user the director runs under to eliminate any permissions issue). You've proved that the director can started, now you need to isolate how it's being started differently by the init script.

> All works fine, shows amount of slots and also the labels of stored tapes.
Mtx-changer parses this output using a regular _expression_. You may wish to make sure the data is being returned in the same format, and tweak the pattern match if it's different. Look for "VolumeTag" in the mtx-changer script.
