Re: [Bacula-users] Where are the MySQL credentials?

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 05:36:53 -0700

I am sorry to complain, but the basic thing you need to do when requesting help is to provide the basic information needed to resolve your problem. 

It is the lack of this information and the the time it takes to get it that has forced me due to time constraints to stop giving support.  Also, I never answer support messages, such as this one, off-list.  When I spend the little free time I have to help people, which I love to do, all bacula users should be able to benefit from it.

In your case, you mention that you do not have the right Bacula credentials, which unfortunately by itself does not help someone trying to resolve your, since to the best of my knowledge Bacula produces no output concerning MySQL regarding credentials, unless you are perhaps trying to us an encrypted connection, which you did not mention.

The critical first step is to always show the exact error messages that are printed, and to show any relevant configuration and other important points you may have.

So, with that, hopefully you will be able to get the help you deserve from the list.  Good luck.

Best regards,
Kern

Since you're the author of the manual, I am very confident it's there, but, I have honestly tried to find this, and can't.

A link to the docs you've referenced would be greatly appreciated.

I have found (and read):

But, nothing in either of those tells me how to specify the user / pass for bacula so it can connect.

Reading the source for the scripts that create the databases, I see the GRANT statement, but that just tells MySQL what user / pass to use. Bacula still doesn't know about it at that point. How do I tell bacula?

The manual has a very complete chapter on MySQL that tells you how to resolve connection problems.

I have restored the bacula mysql tables to a new installation of MySQL
server, but the director cannot connect and is complaining that the
MySQL credentials are not correct.

Where is this in the conf files? I have grepped and googled, and cannot
figure it out.
