Hi,
I installed Bacula yesterday which was a painful experience because I
mistakenly answered no when it asked me if I wanted to install the
database. Anyway, I installed the database by hand, configured Bacula
and went to fire it up.
Running "/etc/init.d/bacula-director start" gives me a pid file in
/var/run/bacula for the director but a ps + grep for the process id
turns up nothing. There are no error messages on start up and there is
nothing in the syslog nor the /var/log/bacula directory. The process
just seems to silently exit.
To confuse me further if I run "bacula-dir -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf" as root form a command prompt the director
starts fine. If I add the "-u bacula -g bacula" arguments, as the init
script does, then the director fails to start.
Any ideas what's going on?
Many thanks, Graham
