Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?

2010-01-31 Thread Eric Downing




Thanks for that Bruno. I've wiped and
reinstalled my Ubuntu partition. Luckily I had .tar'ed my clean
install. So I'm back to a clean slate. I'm going to get MySQL up and
running and then attempt another Bacula install.

As before, are there any recommended step-by-steps? I have read the
quickstart guide, and skimmed the rest of the bacula documentation, I
think I'm doing it right, however obviously not! Here's how I see the
birds eye view of the process:


Install MySQL, confirm operation
  Install bacula (I'm using apt-get)
  backup originals and modify the -dir -fd -sd
for password and localhost definitions (change localhost and 127.0.0.1
to my listening interface's IP)
  define a backup type, in my case: a directory
located on USB storage
  define a job type
  define a job
  define a schedule


I think thats it?

Thanks again,
Eric

The first issue is I cannot connect to the console using bconsole. The error

Whilst looking that one up, I was tailing /var/log/bacula/log and noticed:

In MySQL there actually is no bacula database, so I created it and still got the 
same error. I also checked that the bacula password for MySQL and the password 
defined in /bacula-dir.conf were synced.

Seeing as how these seem to be serious errors, should I wipe and restart? Or do 
you think these could be fixable?

Hi Eric, I've also check the other message in the threads.
Understanding what you are doing is the fundamental about having success.
So yes bacula documentation is huge, but everything is in !

One of the first few points you should check (and this is ubuntu/debian related)

What type of database would you use : sqlite,mysql,postgresql ?
Once you choose : the mysql / postgresql needs to be installed and running.

Next choose the according bacula-dir package as each database is specifically linked to.
so there's one bacula-dir for sqlite, one for mysql one for postgresql, and they can't be mixed.

At your place, I would remove by purge all bacula related package, make my decision and re-start install.
(If it doesn't work out of the box, complain about the packager)

And yes in ubuntu/debian world they tend to understand "network backup service" to localhost. So you have
to change all 127.0.0.1 or localhost in all config files -dir -fd -sd if you want to backup something on your network.

Hope this help you to get a good start

Yes, I did restart the services, however I was
unable to use the traditional method.

/etc/init.d/bacula-sd restart
/etc/init.d/bacula-fd restart

both produced file not found and 'service bacula-sd restart' produced
the same results.

I eventually power cycled the machine. Came back to the same results in
bconsole.

I can however restart bacula-director with no problems.

[Bacula-users] ERR=Connection refused for daemons

2010-01-31 Thread Eric Downing




I'm starting a new thread with a more
descriptive title than the previous. I apologize for allowing the last
thread to get away from the subject.

I've got Bacula up and running, I'm able to use bconsole. I have
changed all the passwords in the -dir, -fd, -sd, and bconsole.conf to
be the same throughout. In bacula-dir.conf file I have also changed the
DirAddress from 127.0.0.1 to the IP of the box. FWIW I am ssh'ed into
the bacula box (bedroom) and at this time I'm attempting to backup
locally, so there are no firewalls to worry about.

I receive an error in bconsole when trying to get status from the
daemons, as below. I have checked that the services exist in
/etc/services. Interestingly enough I don't find the daemons mentioned
in netstat -aln or ps -A, however bacula-dir is there. I have not
actually tried to run a job yet. I would appreciate a firm slap in the
right direction! Thanks in advance.

OK have a good laugh. As it turns out I did not have the bacula-sd / fd

  Doesn't seem to be a password issue, but the FD

they are not running.
  
  
  How do you start the SD and FD on your system?
  
  
  The daemons may simply die on startup, so you may
want to run them from the command line to get some clues from their
STDOUT.
  
  
  Depending on the location of your executables and
config files, for example:
  
  
  /usr/sbin/bacula-sd -u bacula -g disk -c

[Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?

2010-01-30 Thread Eric Downing




Hi,

New to bacula, semi-new to Linux. So I'm having some serious problems
getting bacula up and running. I have read the Bacula quick start and
skimmed the rest, I'm fairly certain I understand the fundamentals. I
followed a guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bacula 

The first issue is I cannot connect to the console using bconsole. The
error cited is:

Fatal error: bsock.c:129 Unable to
connect to Director daemon on localhost:9101. ERR=Connection refused

Whilst looking that one up, I was tailing
/var/log/bacula/log and noticed:

31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir JobId 0:
Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula".
  31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error:

  MySQL connect failed either server not
running or your authorization is incorrect.
  31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
  Please correct configuration file:

In MySQL there actually is no bacula database,
so I created it and still got the same error. I also checked that the
bacula password for MySQL and the password defined in /bacula-dir.conf
were synced.

Seeing as how these seem to be serious errors, should I wipe and
restart? Or do you think these could be fixable?

Thanks,

OK, giving up. I think I've muddied things up
too much so I'm going to restore from a clean backup.

Are there any good step by steps out there? I imagine the ones I'm
using aren't working. I'm looking to first backup the local box (to a
USB drive) then make the leap to backing up my various boxes around the
house here. OS is Ubuntu 9.04 (Deb5)

Thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?

2010-01-30 Thread Eric Downing




Oh no I wasn't implying that the list is slow!
As a matter of fact I joined the list and watched the issues and
responses for about a week before deciding on bacula as my solution.
The list here is great!

I do not have a firewall, and I'll try checking the configs as you
suggested. =)

Thank you,
Eric

Are there any good step by steps out there? I imagine the ones I'm using aren't 
working. I'm looking to first backup the local box (to a USB drive) then make 
the leap to backing up my various boxes around the house here. OS is Ubuntu 9.04 
(Deb5)

  
  
Ok. .. 29 minutes.. that was not much responsetime you gave the list
there.. even on a sunday morning.

It looks like you have either:
* A firewall blocking of you installation
* Not configured mysql/bacula to listen to other than 127.0.0.1

Go doublecheck both things and you'll get forward.

Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?

2010-01-30 Thread Eric Downing




Ok in my bacula-dir.conf file there was an
entry for 'diraddress=127.0.0.1' however  commented that out earlier
by myself upon a suggestion I read somewhere. I uncommented it and
changed it to the local IP. I restarted bacula-director and tried to
bconsole in with the same results.

Additionally, netstat -a|grep 3306 checking for MySQL didn't show, then
the same command but used the bacula ports, and no dice. in
/etc/services the bacula services are listed. Furthermore ps -Af shows
nothing Bacula or MySQL related. I am unfamiliar with MySQL however I
have used MSSQL a fair amount in the past (GUI stuff though). My box
running Ubuntu is CLI only.

Not sure where to go from here. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Eric
