hi all; I'm new to bacula, so forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question, but..
I read carefully (or so I thought) thru the main reference document
("main.pdf"),
built everything from source (with no problems), and installed into /opt/bacula
(doing this on centos 7, fyi).
I've read the section on critical items to implement, as well as the brief
tutorial.
I start things as directed with the command:
./bacula start
and the processes start up as expected.
the next step says to run the command:
./bconsole
which just comes back to a command prompt.
after lots of head-scratching, I stumbled across some log information, telling
me that
the mysql connection failed. well I can see why it failed - it was never setup.
doing a quick google search, I discovered that there are shell scripts with
names
like "create_mysql_database", which I'm assuming I need to run to get things
setup properly.
so the reason I'm posting here is, the main document ("main.pdf") makes no
mention
about this step. I'm concerned that I'm missing some importing steps, or
looking at
the wrong document.
could someone please point me to some instructions for setting up bacula from
scratch,
for someone who's never worked with it before?
thanks in advance.
