Testing Database Access Configuration

You can use the Bacula estimate command to verify that the MySQL plugin is well configured.

* estimate listing job=my-test
...

If the estimate or the job output display the following error,

Error: Can't reach MySQL server to get database config.

you should check that the Bacula Enterprise MySQL Plugin can retrieve information using the mysql command running as the mysql user on the Client.

You must ensure that your unix_user user can connect to the MySQL server without any password prompt. By default, the unix_user is root.

If you need to specify options such as -h localhost in the mysql command line, you will need to use a my.cnf file as described in MySQL Connection Information.
