I think I've installed Bacula correctly (1.38.11 on Centos 4.4). I've installed it as a user (in ~/bacula as recommended), following the documentation closely (I'm a Linux newbie).
My configuration line was: ./configure --enable-smartalloc --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working --with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working --with-mysql --with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/working When I issue ./startmysql I get: cat: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid: Permission denied rm: cannot remove `/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid': Permission denied Fatal error: Can't remove the pid file: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ./mysqld_safe: line 333: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied Please remove it manually and start ./mysqld_safe again mysqld daemon not started If I log in as root then issue ./startmysql (from the user's home directory) I get no errors. I can then enter ./bacula start, but if I then enter ./bacula status all services (fd, sd & dir) stopped. This all manifested itself as inability to connect to the director (./bconsole). Not surprising if the director is not running. I am stumped at the moment on what's not working. -- Peter Crighton ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
