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.

Hi Greg,
Different distributions and installation methods put the socket in
different places. Bacula can't take that into account as it may be
different on every machine it is installed on.
