I have a small server running Ubuntu Lucid, on which I have installed
Webmin 1.550 and Bacula 5.0.1 and MySQL (applications installed using
apt-get). I am backing up to a file share on another machine, and the
set up basically works. I still need to fine tune a few things, but I
can backup, etc. However, getting to this point was a bit ugly,
because the Bacula documentation does not entirely agree with the
software that I have installed. For example, I cannot find
drop_bacula_tables or make_bacula_tables scripts, and a bit of
Googling suggests that those scripts don't get installed on Ubuntu,
for no apparent reason. Furthermore, the Start and Stop Bacula
buttons in Webmin appear to start/stop the bacula-dir process, but not
the fd or sd processes. I can start and stop everything on the
command line, but I'm going to have to hand this system over to
semi-technical people shortly, and they may not cope with the Linux
command line (which is why I used Webmin in the first place).
Obviously the start/stop thing is a Webmin issue, but I am hoping that
someone on this list will already have fought this particular battle,
and can tell me how they did it.
I have considered upgrading Bacula to 5.0.3, but I don't want to find
that I am opening a new can of worms by doing so. Does anyone have
any guidance on the Bacula upgrade experience on Lucid? I would like
to upgrade the machine itself, but I need a decent backup before I can
attempt that.
So: Ubuntu Lucid. Is there anyway to get the missing database
scripts, any simple fix to starting and stopping Bacula via Webmin,
and will I have a better experience with Bacula 5.0.3?
Thanks and regards
Melodie

Hi Melodie,
I have always built Bacula from source on Ubuntu for this reason. Below
is the script I use configure the build. I do not use Webmin, you may
have to modify this to build that. I have always found building the
current version, easier then using the ubuntu repo versions.
#!/bin/bash
# run ./my-conf (this script)
# run make
# run make install
# need libmysqlclient15-dev
# need libqt4-dev
basedir="/opt/bacula-5.0.3"
workindir="$basedir/working"
make distclean
CFLAGS="-g -O2" \
./configure \
--sbindir=$basedir/bin \
--sysconfdir=$basedir/etc \
--mandir=$basedir/bin \
--with-pid-dir=$workingdir \
--with-subsys-dir=$workingdir \
--with-working-dir=$workindir \
--with-scriptdir=$basedir/bin \
--with-qwt=../src/qt-console/qwt \
--enable-smartalloc \
--enable-batch-insert \
--enable-large-file \
--disable-ipv6 \
--with-open-ssl \
--with-mysql
exit 0
