<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: First, let me say I didn't realize trying to run your ebuild involved a whole new setup of a portage overlay. I'd seen that term mentioned on maillist but I've never done any of that. And don't really want to get involved in a whole other project here just to run bacula.
So thanks for the package but it appears I need to back up a few steps and get a working install from existing packages. I mean learn what I need to know to make bacula work with mysql and how to run emerge to get the best jump on that. > create_bacula_database > make_bacula_tables > grant_bacula_privileges These all fail currently: (Output included at the end) It appears to be related to mysql permisions or password etc. but I'm backing up a few steps and re-emerging first mysql then bacula with USE=mysql set hard somewhere. I guess in /etc/make.conf. Chris pointed out that I need bacula added to mysql access and I'm currently trying to crack the syntax of mysqlaccess.conf to get that done. It is not self evident in the stock *.conf. The mysql home pages do not make it easy to find such basic info there. I wallowed around on it for nearly an hour without finding a basic step thru to get started. The gentoo install of mysql contains no such basic info near as I can tell either. (ditto for bacula too ) Studying `man mysqlaccess.conf' looks like rough sledding too, but wading in now. Failures included for completeness: ================================================== ./create_bacula_database Creating MySQL database ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Creation of bacula database failed. ./make_bacula_tables Making MySQL tables ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Creation of Bacula MySQL tables failed. ./grant_bacula_privileges Granting MySQL privileges ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Error creating privileges. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
