By this, do you mean the sysutils/bacula-server port? > 5.

The reason behind this is that you might be using a MySQL database on a different server to store your database. If you are going to run a local MySQL server then you need to install an appropriate databases/mysql??-server port and configure that so it runs. > Therefor i installed MySQL-server 5.0.90, started it and tried to run BAT > again.

These are in /usr/local/share/bacula. You need to run three scripts: create_bacula_database, make_bacula_tables, and grant_bacula_privileges before starting up Bacula for the first time. The reason you are getting the error message about not being able to connect to the Director is that it probably died when it started up after not finding the correct tables in the database. Note, also, you need to enable MySQL in /etc/rc.conf if you are using it as your back-end database, so that it runs at startup. If it is not running, the Director will not be able to connect to the database. Note, I use PostgreSQL as my back-end database. I can easily check it is running via its startup script: backup# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql status pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 1180) /usr/local/bin/postgres "-D" "/usr/local/pgsql/data" (There should be something similar for MySQL.) Similarly, for the Bacula Director: backup# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-dir status bacula_dir is running as pid 1280.
