Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula release 1.27

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I just installed a fresh install 1.27, dropped old tables, created new.

bacula-dir didn't start, because it found database version "4", while it
wanted "5".

This appears an error in "make_mysql_tables", as "alter.." had a version "5"
in it.

Running "alter_mysql_tables" after "make_mysql_tables" fixes this (it shows
errors from "alter table" commands, but that's ok, because the table
structures are okay already.

Regards, jarif
