modifying, # Generic catalog service Catalog { Name = MyCatalog - dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "DbPass" + dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; DB Address = "localhost"; dbpassword = "DbPass" } then, service bacula-dir restart bacula-dir -d -v -t -c bacula-dir.conf returns ok, with no error. so, TCP works. checking, grep sock /etc/my.cnf -B1 [client] socket = /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock [mysqld_safe] socket = /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock [mysqld_secure_installation] socket = /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock [mysqld] socket = /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock ls -al /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Feb 12 18:08 /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock= checking, i've verifyied all of my other mysql-socket-using apps are ok with that specified socket location. Q: is bacula presumimg some other location, rather than adopting the settings in /etc/my.cnf, or the executable's default, mysqladmin --print-defaults mysqladmin would have been started with the following arguments: --socket=/var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock --password=###### --port=3306 on a hunch, ln -sf /var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock and returning - dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; DB Address = "localhost"; dbpassword = "DbPass" + dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "DbPass" then, service bacula-dir restart bacula-dir -d -v -t -c bacula-dir.conf is, now, ok. checking, grep sock `grep -rlni sock /usr/lib64/bacula` if ($args{db_socket}) { $ENV{PGHOST}=$args{db_socket}; if ($args{db_socket}) { # unix socket is fastest than net socket $addr = "socket=$args{db_socket}"; # db_socket= looks like a socket specification can be made. reading @ bacula docs, Configuring_Director.html DB Socket = socket-name This is the name of a socket to use on the local host to connect to the database. This directive is used only by MySQL and is ignored by SQLite. Normally, if neither DB Socket or DB Address are specified, MySQL will use the default socket. If the DB Socket is specified, the MySQL server must reside on the same machine as the Director. it's supposed to use the default socket ... specifying the socket manually, rm /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock - dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "DbPass" + dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; DB Socket = "/var/cache/mysql/mysql.sock"; dbpassword = "DbPass" and, now, service bacula-dir restart bacula-dir -d -v -t -c bacula-dir.conf returns ok. as you suspected -- socket location! i'd suspect bacula *should* take the socket location as specified in /etc/my.cnf, but the manual spec of socket location in the bacula-dir.conf Catalog stanza is an apparently working solution. thanks a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
