Database not created while adding new bacula client

While adding new client to bacula (v5.2.6, os Debian Wheezy) and testing configuration with bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf I'm getting:

bacula-dir: dird.c:954 Could not open Catalog "catalog-test1", database "test1". bacula-dir: dird.c:959 sqlite.c:182 Database /var/lib/bacula/test1.db does not exist, please create it.

EDIT: Bacula have already two working clients and the problem occurs while adding another one. The same version of bacula director an OS on another server (the same bacula daemons configuration, but the mysql db instead of sqlite3) let me add new clients without creating database for them manually. What should be done to get bacula to automatic catalog creation for new clients?

My Catalog definition for the client:

Catalog {
Name = catalog-test1
dbname = "test1"; dbuser = ""; dbpassword = ""
}

Any advice appreciated.

Solution

  • SQLite DB needs to be created and initialized before first use. It can be done by make commands during manual build or it can be done manually.

    In my case (Gentoo Linux) these commands did the trick:

    /usr/libexec/bacula/create_bacula_database
/usr/libexec/bacula/make_bacula_tables

    See http://www.bacula.org/7.4.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Configuring_SQLi.html for more details.
