OK, I synced all the passwords I could find in
-dir, -fd, -sd, and bconsole. Still experiencing the same issues.

Thanks for all your replies. Here's where I
am:
I'm able to use bconsole to get the status of the various demons
however what I don't understand is the passwords. I've tried copying
the passwords from bacula-dir.conf into the corresponding bacula-fd and
bacula-sd files however I keep getting the connection refused error
when console tries to connect to the storage and file daemons. What are
these passwords supposed to be and how do they correlate? I feel like
the bacula-dir contains the "master" passwords for the fd and sd - is
that correct? Should I modify the randomly generated passwords in there
and then copy those to their corresponding SD and FD.conf files? Thanks
for any light you can shed on this. I just know this is a simple fix.

Here's
how I see the
birds eye view of the process:
Install MySQL, confirm
operation
Install bacula (I'm using apt-get)
Install from source - it's not that hard.
backup originals and modify
the -dir -fd -sd
for password and localhost
Make life easier and define all passwords the same.
definitions (change
localhost
and 127.0.0.1
to my listening interface's IP)
Don't know what this means.
define a backup type, in my
case: a directory
located on USB storage
Before you start the backups, try bconsole connection to the
iorector, yes, it has a bconsole.conf file as well that you will have
to modify.
define a job type
define a job
define a schedule
I think thats it?
Thanks again,
Eric

Hi,
New to bacula, semi-new to Linux. So I'm having some serious problems getting
bacula up and running. I have read the Bacula quick start and skimmed the rest,
I'm fairly certain I understand the fundamentals. I followed a guide here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bacula
The first issue is I cannot connect to the console using bconsole. The error
cited is:
Fatal error: bsock.c:129 Unable to connect to Director daemon on
localhost:9101. ERR=Connection refused
Whilst looking that one up, I was tailing /var/log/bacula/log and noticed:
31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog
"MyCatalog", database "bacula".
31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: mysql.c:194 Unable to connect
to MySQL server.
Database=bacula User=bacula
MySQL connect failed either server not running or your authorization is
incorrect.
31-Jan 01:13 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
In MySQL there actually is no bacula database, so I created it and still got the
same error. I also checked that the bacula password for MySQL and the password
defined in /bacula-dir.conf were synced.
Seeing as how these seem to be serious errors, should I wipe and restart? Or do
you think these could be fixable?
Thanks,
Eric
Hi Eric, I've also check the other message in the threads.
Understanding what you are doing is the fundamental about having success.
So yes bacula documentation is huge, but everything is in !
One of the first few points you should check (and this is ubuntu/debian related)
What type of database would you use : sqlite,mysql,postgresql ?
Once you choose : the mysql / postgresql needs to be installed and running.
Next choose the according bacula-dir package as each database is specifically linked to.
so there's one bacula-dir for sqlite, one for mysql one for postgresql, and they can't be mixed.
At your place, I would remove by purge all bacula related package, make my decision and re-start install.
(If it doesn't work out of the box, complain about the packager)
And yes in ubuntu/debian world they tend to understand "network backup service" to localhost. So you have
to change all 127.0.0.1 or localhost in all config files -dir -fd -sd if you want to backup something on your network.
Hope this help you to get a good start
