Hey all,

This just started happening recently where I can't connect to my bacula
director using the bconsole command. It just kinda kicks you out like this:

[root@ops:/etc/bacula] #bconsole
Connecting to Director ops.jokefire.com:9101
[root@ops:/etc/bacula] #

If I look at the bacula-dir service I can see that it died, which would
explain why I can't connect.

[root@ops:/etc/bacula] #service bacula-dir status
bacula-dir dead but subsys locked

Taking a look at the logs, it appears that the config is looking to connect
to a postgresql database. However I am using MySQL as the DB:

10-Dec 18:48 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog
"JokefireCatalog", database "bacula".
10-Dec 18:48 bacula-dir JobId 0:* Fatal error: postgresql.c:236 Unable to
connect to PostgreSQL server. Database=bacula User=root*
Possible causes: SQL server not running; password incorrect;
max_connections exceeded.
10-Dec 18:48 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

My database connection details in the directory config are as follows:

# Generic catalog service
Catalog {
  Name = JokefireCatalog
# Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver
  #dbdriver = "dbi:mysql"; dbaddress = localhost; dbport = 3306
  dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "root"; dbpassword = "secret-pass"
}


And these are the bacula programs and libraries that I have installed are:

[root@ops:/etc/bacula] #rpm -qa | grep bacula
bacula-libs-sql-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64
bacula-common-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64
bacula-storage-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64
bacula-libs-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64
bacula-console-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64
bacula-director-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64
bacula-client-7.0.5-1.el5.x86_64

I tried uncommenting the dbd driver section of the bacula-dir.conf file and
restarted. But I got the same result.

# Generic catalog service
Catalog {
  Name = JokefireCatalog
# Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver
  dbdriver = "dbi:mysql"; dbaddress = localhost; dbport = 3306
  dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "root"; dbpassword = "secret"
}

[root@ops:/etc/bacula] #service bacula-dir status
bacula-dir dead but subsys locked

I'd like to know why my bacula director is operating under the impression
that it's using a postgres database. Even when I uncomment the dbdriver
section and specify that I'm using mysql. It still seems to be thinking
it's using postgres.

How can I correct this section and get my backups on line again?

I'm using bacula 7 under centos 5.9.

Thanks!
Tim
