Hello, In the rpm based upgrade, I got the following: ... Updating : bacula-mysql ######################### [1/4] Hmm, doesn't look like you have an existing database. Granting privileges for MySQL user bacula... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Error creating privileges. Creating MySQL bacula database... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Creation of bacula database failed. Creating bacula tables... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) .....
Thats ok because my mysql server is password protected. But since the message wasn't so accurate to the problem, i took a look at the spec file. So Im sending you a suggestion. As you can see it applies only on the mysql part of the script, because I don't have sqlite or posgres to test it. So, instead of: ... %if %{mysql} # test for an existing database # note: this ASSUMES no password has been set for bacula database DB_VER=`mysql 2>/dev/null bacula -e 'select * from Version;'|tail -n 1` # grant privileges and create tables if they do not exist if [ -z "$DB_VER" ]; then echo "Hmm, doesn't look like you have an existing database." ... you could: ... # test for an existing database # note: this ASSUMES no password has been set for bacula database DB_VER=`mysql 2>&1 bacula -e 'select * from Version;'|tail -n 1` if expr "$DB_VER" : '.*ERROR.*' >/dev/null; then echo "Couldn't access your database server.($DB_VER)" echo "If you are installing bacula for the first time you will need to run the bacula database creation scripts." echo "If you are upgrading you may need to run the bacula database updating scripts." # grant privileges and create tables if they do not exist elif [ -z "$DB_VER" ]; then echo "Hmm, doesn't look like you have an existing database." ... As you can see, I sugest to redirect stderror to std output the command, and then search for the "ERROR" string to stat if there was an error. Or you could ask for the database root password. I didn't do any patch because the suggested code applies to mysql only (may be you could do it for the other databases:P ) Thanks, Jaime -- Jaime Ventura [Infra-estruturas e Comunicações] Rua Dr. António Bernardino de Almeida, 431 4200 - 072 Porto Telef: +351 22 834 05 00 (04) - ext. 1641 Fax: +351 22 832 11 59 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> url: www.isep.ipp.pt <http://www.isep.ipp.pt> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
