[SOLVED] Ubuntu server 11.04 and Bacula 5.0.3 not working

Hi,

So I have Ubuntu server 11.04 with LAMP and Bacula 5.0.3. My problem is with bacula :/. At first the director was not working, the director process crashed after a while because he wasn't able to connect to the mysql server.

I found an error in the defaut director configuration file :

Code:

# vim /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
# Generic catalog service
Catalog {
  Name = MyCatalog
  # Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver
  # dbdriver = "dbi:sqlite3"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport =
  dbname = "bacula;" DB Address = ""; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "myPassword"
}

After I change the "bacula;" to "bacula";, the server file deamon (myServer.myDomain-fd) wasn't starting anymore. But the director works now! The file deamon was working before I change that line, and Bacula's still not able to connect to the local mysql server...

The error :

Code:

# /etc/init.d/bacula-fd start
 * Starting Bacula File daemon...  06-Apr 16:27 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:971
Config error: Keyword "FileDaemon" not permitted in this resource.
Perhaps you left the trailing brace off of the previous resource.
            : line 31, col 11 of file /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
FileDaemon {                          # this is me
                                       [fail]

Here is the error in the bacula's log file :

Code:

# vim /var/log/bacula/log

06-Apr 15:21 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula".
06-Apr 15:21 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: mysql.c:194 Unable to connect to MySQL server.
Database=bacula User=bacula
MySQL connect failed either server not running or your authorization is incorrect.
06-Apr 15:21 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

I have test if the mysql server was running and it was...

Code:

# ps -ef | grep mysqld
mysql      666     1  0 Apr05 ?        00:00:22 /usr/sbin/mysqld

I have test the mysql password of the bacula user and it's okay...

Code:

# mysql -u bacula -p bacula
Enter password:

[...]

mysql>

So now, only the file deamon and the director's running :

Code:

# ps -ef | grep bacula
bacula   11512     1  0 15:20 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bacula-sd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -u bacula -g tape
bacula   12948     1  0 16:10 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -u bacula -g bacula

What should I do to make Bacula work properly?

Sorry, english's not my native language...
Thank you very much !

OMG... I just found the error... What a waste of time :/

In the /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf file, a "}" was missing! I really don't know how! But whatever... here's the complete solution :

The dbname should be : "bacula"; and not "bacula;".

Code:

# vim /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
370 # Generic catalog service
371 Catalog {
372   Name = MyCatalog
373 # Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver
374 # dbdriver = "dbi:sqlite3"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport =
375   dbname = "bacula"; DB Address = ""; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "myPassword"
376 }

Here's the missing "}" :

Code:

# vim /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
 18 #
 19 # Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
 20 #   status of the file daemon
 21 #
 22 Director {
 23   Name = myServer.myDomain-mon
 24   Password = "myPassword"
 25   Monitor = yes
 26 }

Thanks anyway for those of you who tried to help me!
