Gentoo linux mysql-5.0.16-r4 bacula-1.36.3-r2 I had a running bacula setup a while back and was just starting to learn how to use it for real work. Did a major reinstall of os and now back to square one, but also seems I've forgotten whatever I learned.
First tried with the default config files intact to start bacula, it failed with similar output as below I've forgotten how the passwording works. When Mysql was installed a root password was created but not sure how to let bacula know about it. And not sure really if that is even the problem... I can talk to the mysql daemon so I know its running and accepting the password. mysql -p ... works. bacula-dir has the passwords generated on install already in there and as I recall I didn't mess with those last time, so I'm using the ones created on this install. I have run the create database scripts for mysql and bacula with no errors But starting bacula appears to fail at connecting with mysql daemon.
