Just wanted to report that installing hasn't been the problem. It was painless but I failed to USE=mysql on install.

This > miscommunication has now been resolved and the confusion should be clearing Got that figured out and scripts are currently being installed in /etc/bacula with the latest ebuild in portage. 1.36.3-r2 >> 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.

Further you point to mysql.com for guidance but if you look there you'll see it isn't so easy to find a step thru there. A getting started page or the like. Yeah, there are forums and mailing lists but I searched that page for good half hour, following links etc with no hits on a basic doc. Probably there but poorly presented...

This sounds good, maybe I can provide a rough outline of steps needed once I figure them out myself. Even something that unpolished would be welcome I'm guessing. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
