Thanks! bacula-dir -f gave me a missing pid file.
A little research brought up http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02406.html this thread that describes the solution to my problem: My "--with-pid-dir..." configuration directive pointed to a non-existing folder. I created the folder and now I get bacula-sd (pid 3925) is running... bacula-fd (pid 3935) is running... bacula-dir (pid 3945) is running... Wonderful! Now let's see what Bacula can do... :computer-user: rich-13 wrote: > > try running commands directly with console output, for example : > bacula-dir -f > > if that produces nothing, try adding -d<number> and increase number > until you get something useful. > > a wild guess : it's possible your config file permissions are incorrect :) > > On 2007.06.15. 17:41, ChowYunFett wrote: >> Hi, >> >> looking for a good backup solution that can handle multiple machines, I >> installed Bacula 2.3.0 with MySQL on openSUSE, every step according to >> the >> user guide. >> When I run "./bacula start" I get no error messages. >> I found I couldn't connect to the Console daemon by "./bconsole" so I >> checked the status by "./bacula status" which gave me >> >> "bacula-sd is stopped >> bacula-fd is stopped >> bacula-dir is stopped" >> >> I am a linux noob and even more so with bacula so I don't know where to >> start looking for what causes the trouble. >> >> Any hints are very much appreciated. >> >> Thanks, >> >> Chow > -- > Rich > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express > Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take > control of your XML.
