Hi Arno,
thanks for your reply, looks like you're from Germany too :-)
I find this astonishing. Admittedly, I never used a debian packaged
installation, but instead, when I first encountered Bacula, I started with
a blank DIR configuration and, reading the manual, managed to get a
working setup rather easily.
Well, to be honest, I'd like to use it the "Debian way" as intended by the
people who preconfigured it. So starting from scratch might not be that
easy, or a little bit of a hassle (because of path settings, etc.).
The good thing about Debian ist the packaging. I've seen that there are some
other Users who are using Debian Sarge. Maybe some of them could tell me if
I'm missing a package?

If I'm missing something, please tell me. There's something I found out
myself already. If you don't choose the bacula-mysql package the standard
one is postgresql and will be installed automatically. I've changed that now
to mysql.
If you can't start the DIR with the sample configuration, just work
through the manual. To start the DIR, you need nly a limited set of
configuration sections:
Director, Messages, Catalog and probably Pool. I feel that the sample
configuration with a very limited number of changes should be sufficient
to start the DIR with a configuration tailored to your sites needs.
Well maybe you could be so kind to take a fast glimpse at my config. I've
already changed the references and setup DNS, baculahost.anytest.de and
baculaserver.anytest.de.
host bacula-fd.conf file: http://nopaste.debianforum.de/2728
server bacula-sd.conf file: http://nopaste.debianforum.de/2730
server bacula-director.conf file: http://nopaste.debianforum.de/2732
Sure. But please try to strip the configuration down to the minimum, try
it and report any error messages. I don't think that the DIR refuses to
start without giving some sort of reason for it. If there are no messages,
and you verified that no DIR process is running, retry starting the DIR,
with debug output enabled: -d 50 should give you lots of messages on the
terminal.
As you can see there already some smart people who took care of such
problems. Nopaste is a nice feature of this website. Helped me alot in the
past, also to help others.
Ha, I even found the logfile, here is the error message:
baculaserver:/etc/bacula# tail /var/lib/bacula/log
Volume name(s):
Volume Session Id: 0
Volume Session Time: 0
Last Volume Bytes: 0
Non-fatal FD errors: 0
SD Errors: 0
FD termination status:
SD termination status:
Termination: *** Backup Error ***
baculaserver:/etc/bacula#
Only after you've got the DIR running work on the SD and FD setup, and
Jobs and Filesets etc.
That means it should not be a problem to start the director without the rest
of the components, that's good. That should also mean, that the error
message I get could only be generated from the bacula-director.conf, am I
right?
Thanks for your patience,
Jens
