I finished installing bacula from source today on a fresh os install. I started postgresql and then started the bacula install
Next, I configured bacula-2.2.7 for postgres and installed it from source: ./configure --with-postgresql make make install steps I found that all the scripts are placed in /etc/bacula bacula-ctl-dir is for the director You can call it with the following params: start, stop, restart or status After that my first test was to try to start bacula right away with the debug output turned on and without using the 3 scripts to create the postgresql catalog database or editing the bacula-dir.conf file so I knew it would fail: # bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -d100 bacula-dir: dird.c:156-0 Debug level = 100 bacula-dir: bsys.c:566-0 Could not open state file. sfd=-1 size=192: ERR=No such file or directory bacula-dir: postgresql.c:103-0 db_open first time livecd bacula # bacula-dir: postgresql.c:194-0 pg_real_connect done bacula-dir: postgresql.c:196-0 db_user=bacula db_name=bacula db_password= bacula-dir: dird.c:875 Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula". bacula-dir: dird.c:880 postgresql.c:202 Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server. Database=bacula User=bacula It is probably not running or your password is incorrect. 28-Jan 18:00 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf NOTE, it took 3 minutes for the full output to be displayed. Can you run that same command and post the output? Remember to wait a few minutes to get the whole error message.
