Re: [Bug 207527] Re: Backup of Bacula's MySQL catalog fails
Actually, I didn't insert the username and password. When I did the initial install of the Bacula packages a dialog came up asking for that information. Since I didn't enter the values directly into the file I'm assuming that whatever put up that dialog did. It's possible that I clicked right through the question asking for the DB name. I'd like to take advantage of this ongoing conversation to say that, even though there have been a couple minor rocks in the road, I was really happy to see the Bacula packages in the Ubuntu repository, and that they were the current versions. I have been using Bacula for a few years and it was nice to be able to just click on the packages and port over my configuration.

Re: [Bug 207527] Re: Backup of Bacula's MySQL catalog fails
Thank you for clearing these up. I didn't see anywhere that indicated that I needed to change the RunBeforeJob. This is not something I have had to do before with Bacula.

On my system cat1 had the value CatalogName and catname had the value MyCatalog so the configuration file was never created and mysqldump never executed. -- Commented out the if statement. You should replace CatalogName with the name of the catalog in your configuration, which is, if I understand you correctly, MyCatalog. You have to configure RunBeforeJob correctly, before you use it. RunBeforeJob runs as 'bacula' user. Home of that user is /var/lib/bacula. mysql client reads ~/.my.cnf, which in case of bacula user is /var/lib/bacula. If you run it as root, it would appear that it doesn't work. Beside that, you'll have problems with root-owned files in /var/lib/bacula. -- Backup of Bacula's MySQL catalog fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bacula in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
