John,

Thanks for the quick reply. I did do that. I poured over the manaul for hours and google searched multiple times and tried dozens of things. I finally found the answer in a last ditch Google search.

I already had MySQL installed, and previously had edited the /etc/my.cnf file to specify where the client socket should be. I didn't realize that Bacula does NOT read MySQL's /etc/my.cnf file to find where the client socket is. Instead, it just assumes it's at /tmp/mysql.sock, unless specified otherwise in the bacula-dir.conf file. Thanks to that post above, I was able to find the information needed on page 185 of the pdf manual.

If someone who writes the manual is reading this, I want to throw in a request. :). PLEASE make mention of this in "Installing and Configuring MySQL -- Phase II" found at http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Installing_Configurin_MySQL.html. Many people have already installed MySQL for other things, such as Bugzilla or Wiki, and we have already made some small modifications to the /etc/my.cnf file. It would help other users greatly to mention that Bacula doesn't read the /etc/my.cnf file, and so if you have a non-standard socket location or port or other info, then you have to manually specify it in the bacula-dir.conf file, using the info seen on this manual page "The Catalog Resource", found at http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html
