Hi, new to using Bacula.

When initially setting up, on ./bacula start, I get the message that it can't connect to the mysql database, and it's probably a password problem. Not so, I discovered that it was a socket problem, ie bacula was looking for /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, whereas mysql here is using /tmp/mysql.sock

A workaround was to change the mysql config to use /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock - and it worked instantly. But that's a system change that Bacula surely shouldn't require.

I haven't been able to find any reference - be it in config files, run scripts, or even in the source code - to where the socket location is set. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Greg.
