Hello folks, I've been out of town for over a week and very busy with work since getting back home, but I am trying to make some time to get 1.38.* into portage soon.

Configuring Bacula definitely requires reading the rest of the manual, but installation on Gentoo Linux should be painless. Please let me know if this is not the case. > There is lots of talk of `./bacula start' which doesn't exist in a > gentoo install. > The bacula init script which the manual refers to is actually in either /etc/bacula or /var/lib/bacula. Due to some inter-developer miscommunication between myself and other gentoo devs this and other other such scripts have been moved around several times in recent ebuilds. This miscommunication has now been resolved and the confusion should be clearing up in the next ebuild. I recommend using the /etc/init.d/bacula script as suggested in John's email, but please note that in the next bacula ebuild an USE flag will allow for the use of inidividual init scripts for each daemon. You may wish to run 'emerge -vp bacula' before installing the newest revision(s) to check for new or updated USE flags. > Attempts to start bacula-dir fail like this: > bacula-dir -v -d22 > bacula-dir: dird.c:131 Debug level = 22 > 22-Nov 09:24 bacula-dir: Fatal error: Could not open > database "bacula". > 22-Nov 09:24 bacula-dir: Fatal error: mysql.c:169 Unable > to connect > to MySQL server. > Database=bacula User=bacula > It is probably not running or your password is incorrect. > 22-Nov 09:24 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION > Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf > Please check that the user 'bacula' is in your mysql users database and has adequate permissions to connect from 'localhost' and has full access to the 'bacula' database.

I would definitely like to contribute such a document to the Gentoo Documentation Project, however as I mentioned before time is very short for me right now. If someone would like to prepare a draft for this and send it to me I would appreciate it and certainly give you credit for authorship. Please see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp/ for details about contributing documents to the Gentoo Documentation Project. Thanks, Chris P.S. I appologize if this is getting really off-topic for this list. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
