I'm setting up my company's backup facility and I'm new to Bacula so I'm starting to set up a test environment with the community version and then bring it into production.
When I run the installation I am shown on the screen to enter parameters, that is DIR NAME, DIR PASSWORD, DIR ADDRESS, then I enter test_dir, test2022,127.0.0.1 respectively.
However, when I start bacula, the connection to the console does not occur ... I tried to search online, and above all for what concerns the parameters DIR NAME, DIR PASSWORD, DIR ADDRESS in case there were any default parameters.
Unfortunately, I don't think there are any default settings and from the documentation I can't figure out how to do the configuration.
Do you have any suggestions / advice / documentation?
Thank you all

I was installing MySQL installer on my windows 8 machine. During the server configuration process, it gets stuck at "starting server" and doesn't move any further. The log for the same is :

I have already tried the following:-
* Un-installed all the programs that were in any way related to MySQL.
* Deleted the MySQL folder from C:\Program Files.
* Cleared my registry.
and then re-installed the program, but all in vain.
The link MySQL Installer Stuck on "Starting Service" also shows the same problem but the solution provided is not working for me.
Here is what I did:
Installed it with mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.23.0.msi
For my purposes I selected "Custom" install with MySQL servers 5.6.22 - X64 and MySQL Connectors -> Connector ODBC/5.3.4 - 64
Next -> Execute -(ready to configure) -> Next
Config type: Development machine, all defaults (TCP/IP, Port: 3306, Open firewall)
Typed in MySQL Root Password
MySQL user Accounts -> Add user (username, password, OK) -> Next
Configure MySQL Server as a Windows Service (CHECKED)
Windows Service Name: MySQL56 (default)
Start the MySQL Serve at System Startup
THIS IS CRUCIAL (BUG IS HERE): Run Service as...
Standard System Account (CHECKED - but it will be disregarded and that is BUG)
Next -> Execute, Installation hangs on Starting server, so wait for a while to time out (or don't, your choice). When Dialog (might be covered with other windows) popup with message "Configuration of MySQL Server is taking longer than expected..., here click OK (so to wait longer)
Meanwhile go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> find MySQL56, right click on it -> Properties -> select Log On Tab AND HERE IS BUG -> Although Local System Account was selected, Somehow "This account: Network Service (with some password) was selected -> Select Log on as: Local System Account, Allow service to interact with desktop -> Apply -> Go back on general tab
On general tab click on "Start" button to start service and here it is! Service is started! Click on OK to close MySQL56 Properties dialog. Close Services dialog. Close Administrative tools. Close control panel.
And by that time (while you were closing those dialogs) when you look at MySQl Installer Dialog all steps are finished and checked: Starting Server, Applying security... Creating user accounts.. Updating Start menu link
Confirm with Finish -> Next -> Finish
That's it, happy MySQL-ing :)
The installer has another issue that I discovered today.
I had the same issue of the installer hanging on "Starting Server". However, after looking at the windows Event Viewer under Windows Logs -> Application, I discovered the error
"Too many arguments (first extra is 'Something').For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://www.mysql.com.".
The issue is that the installer cannot handle spaces in the windows service name (the name I used was Something MySQL). Simply change the name to one without spaces.
My issue was the special character in the password.
What I did to resolve being stuck at the Attempting to Start Server:
1. Use the installer to uninstall the previous version/installation
2. Validate and delete the existing MySQL Folders (DATA and App)
3. Re-install using the installer
4. Use a strong lengthy password with no special character password
This seems to be a chronic issue with MySQL Installer even now (v1.4.17.0). No matter what, every time I (re-)configure an instance on Windows 7 Pro or Server (2008 R2) it hangs at this point.
Simplest fix is:
When the installer hangs, open Windows Services and locate your mySQL service instance(s).
Double-click to open the/an instance and set Log on as: to Local System account and check Allow service to interact with desktop.
Optionally but preferably set the Recovery options to allow the service to resume after a problem.
Ensure that Startup type is set to Automatic (or whatever your preference is).
Click Apply and then click Start (or click OK and then start the service).
Return to the MySQL Installer and close any open warning about waiting for the process to complete and the process should continue.
Repeat as required for each MySQL Server instance.
Note: The installer seems to not enable the firewall exception that you may have selected when MySQL Server was first configured, so you may have to reconfigure again to open the firewall.
Side note: All-in-all, I'd have to say that after only two days of using the MySQL ecosystem, I'm less than impressed by how buggy things are. I would estimate that I had to set up two server interfaces about 6 times before everything worked as advertised. Workbench crashed on me 5+ times in the first day alone and I've had to traipse through any number of forums finding answers to stuff like this. Be prepared to do the same.
I had the same problem where it changed from Local System Account to Network Service, I changed it in the services back to Local System Account. This however did not work. I came across another forum that suggested having spaces in the services name was causing the problem so I took out the spaces and put underscores and sure enough it worked!
Change spaces to underscores!
Adding this for others.
I had install set up to configure windows service.
Looking in Windows Event Viewer => Windows Logs => Application I found:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe: Error while setting value '0.0' to 'lower_case_table_names'
Checking the init file in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini
I found:
# Specifies the on how table names are stored in the metadata.
# If set to 0, will throw an error on case-insensitive operative systems
# If set to 1, table names are stored in lowercase on disk and comparisons are not case sensitive.
# If set to 2, table names are stored as given but compared in lowercase.
# This option also applies to database names and table aliases.
lower_case_table_names=0.0
I changed the value to 0, but on reinstall it reappeared as 0.0 so during the install and whilst the installation hanged at 'Starting Server' I edited the my.ini file, saved it, opened the services viewer and manually started the service MySql56. The installation then completed
The MySQL developers insist that running the MySQL service Logged On as NETWORK SERVICE IS the proper way to do it and that running it as LOCAL SYSTEM opens security holes. Okay, people, the root of the problem here is that NETWORK SERVICE can't access the locations where the log files are configured to be. I suspect this error occurs when a folder is specified (by clicking Browse) that the NETWORK SERVICE doesn't have access to. In my case, I specified the log files to be written under My Documents in a folder called MySQL Logs. So, (and this can be done while the installer dialog is open, it says the installer is taking a long time, and prompting you to Wait or Cancel,):
I simply granted full control of that folder to the NETWORK SERVICE by right-clicking on the folder, selecting Properties, selecting Security, then clicking Add, then typing in "NETWORK SERVICE". Then I selected NETWORK SERVICE and clicked the checkboxes Allow for Full control and Modify.
I've figured this one out. Mine was getting stuck at "Starting Server" too and Event Viewer had this -
The description for Event ID 100 from source MySQL cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
innobase_buffer_pool_size can't be over 4GB on 32-bit systems
So I figured out the problem was trying to start the 32-bit version of MySQL that comes bundled in with the installer on a 64-bit machine could have been the problem. Although, MySQL states it will install 64-bit of the database.
What I did was downloaded a 64-bit zipped version and unpackaged it into a temporary location. I re-ran the installer and let it install mysql. I replaced the contents of that with the other version from the temporary location without stopping the installer. Then I continued with configuration steps of the installer. It managed to start the service.

I found another solution: I was using a complex password with special characters in it. When I switch to using only alphanumeric characters in the password, it installed with no issues.
I faced the same problem. Completely removing MySql from my PC and then installing it from scratch fixed my problem.
How to remove MySql Completely:
Run Command Prompt as Administrator and execute the following command to stop and
remove MySQL service.
Net stop MySQL
Sc delete MySQL
Go to Control Panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features, select MySQL Server 5.x and
click Uninstall. (If you can uninstall MySQL from Control Panel)
Open Windows Explorer and go to Organize > Folder and search options, Select the “View”
tab and under “Hidden files and Folders” choose “Show hidden files and folders”. Now
explore the following locations and delete following folders.
C:\Program Files\MySQL
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL
C:\ProgramData\MySQL
And if this exists, delete it too:
C:\Users\[User-Name]\AppData\Roaming\MySQL
Restart your PC and reinstall MySQL. That’s all!
I made this problem disappear by upgrading from 5.7 to 8.0.
Specifically I:
Uninstalled MySQL 5.7 (through the "MySQL Notifier").
Downloaded and ran mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.14.0.msi from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/8.0.html
None of the above solutions worked for me. I finally installed an older version. You can look at the version release history from here. Instead of installing the latest MySQL version 8.0.21.0, I instead installed version 8.0.18.0 from here. It finally worked.
I managed to solve this issue by selecting "Do not secure Data folder" option (a third one in the list) during installation. Explained here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installer/en/server-file-permission-options.html
. Seems like installer could not get access to it
Problem Description:
I am going to install MySQL server 5.7.11 (win32) into Windows server 2012. There are several network interface cards being installed in the server, and I am going to install several MySQL instances that bind to specific IP addresses. In short, I am going to install multiple MySQL instances that bind to different IP addresses in same machine.
I am managed to install the first MySQL instance and able to start the service successfully. But when using MySQL Workbench 6.3.6 CE (win32) to connect to the instance, I am getting the following error messages.

MySQL Workbench configuration:
Please see the image below for the configurations. When Workbench is opened and click on the Server Status or Options File, it will prompt to enter a username and password. But then followed by the error messages.

I thought it was because my user do not have WMI permission, so I followed this link Creating a user with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) permissions to configure the user, but it still not working. Note that the user is in the local administrators group.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
I managed to remotely connect to my MySQL server from MySQL Workbench running on another server (my application server), although the problem still exist if I do it on the same server.
I have tested that by granting WMI permission to the user in MySQL server, the connection works as intended. The following list shows what I have done:
In MySQL server, add on following groups to the user.
Distributed COM Users
Performance Log Users
Remote Desktop Users
Configure the WMI namespace security assignments
a. Go to Windows Start > Run....
b. Enter wmimgmt.msc and click OK.
c. Right-click WMI Control (Local) and select Properties.
d. Click the Security tab.
e. Click Security.
f. Click Add.
g. Click Advanced.
h. Click Find Now.
i. Select the new user account, and click OK until you return to the Security for Root window.
j. Click Advanced and select the newly added user account.
k. Click Edit.
l. From the Apply to: menu selection, select This namespace and subnamespaces.
m. In Execute Methods, verify that Enable Account, Remote Enable, and Read Security are selected.
n. Click OK until you return to the wmimgmt window.
o. Select File > Exit to exit the wmimgmt window.
I ran into this same problem and it seems Workbench has a small bug. For local WMI management the only way I could get it to work was with 127.0.0.1 But not if I used a DNS/NetBios name or local network address.
I checked with powershell Get-WmiObject and it will return information with any ComputerName locally i.e. 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.126,mycomputername,mycomputername.domain.com.... So I am guessing it has to do with the WorkBench query to wmi not being correct in some manner?
PS:
Get-WmiObject -Query "select * from win32_service where name='MySql8'" -ComputerName 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.126,....(etc)( to check that wmi is working locally )
So in this scenario I just used the loop-back locally to manage the instance with native windows wmi.
Hopefully this saves someone the 2+ hours I just wasted on this exact problem !
This WMI error has nothing to do with MySQL. MySQL Workbench uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to manage servers locally or remotely in a Windows based environment. WMI is available on all Windows versions and enabled on all customer Windows, but might require extra configuration on server OSes.
So, your best bet is to search how to enable + configure WMI on Windows 2012.
I was trying to reinstall MySQLServer on my local machine (Win7 32), using Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer.
When wizard configure server, after installation, gives the error "Configuration failed", with details:
mysql-server-5.5-win32:6 - Looking for valid template
mysql-server-5.5-win32:13 - Found valid template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:20 - Attempting to process template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:26 - Processed template.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:33 - Attempting to configure service.

mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Unable to configure service.
mysql-server-5.5-win32:100 - Product configuration controller finished configuration.
Why does it happen?
Can it result from using a wrong "old" password that I put in the installation wizard, to set a new password? If yes - How can I clean up ALL previous settings of MySQL server?
Uninstall MySql and all his components excepted Oracle installer, re launch installer, do normally, when your error comes, finish the procedure of installation.
Next step, in start menu search "services", execute services administration tool, right click on the service "MySql Server XX", select "Connexion" tab and check "system account" on start user, launch the process and it would work.
I was struggling with upper problem over 3 days and I think there is a bug when you want to install this with local connection (not tick TCP connection) via .msi installer. After i selected this the configuration passed properly with no fail configuration. My sollution was to run this with set tick on TCP connection and then in server folder in my.ini file just uncomment line # skip-networking .
Other tips:
Turn off the firewall or add rule for installer to accept public/private net connections.
Under admin privileages use netstat -ab | more command to check ports usage
If u fail with earlier installations run services.msc command find your service (installer set is as defauls something like MySQL56,MySQL56_1 - depending on version) get the name of this service and under admin privileage run cmd and type sc stop "coppiedServiceName" if the service is running and later sc delete "coppiedServiceName"
In some forum says that if might be usefull to turn of windows defender or antivirus too
If you change default installation directory after reinstall check for old install files on C:\Program Files C:\ProgramData and get rid of them
Hope somebody find this usefull.
I had the same issue on Windows XP. The problem was caused by the localization. I had to change the path to the All User's AppData folder using regedit. The original path contained a non ANSI character.
The registry key is this:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"
The value name is this:"Common AppData"
The original value was: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Data aplikací"
I changed it to: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\AppData"
Then the installer succeeded.
NOTE: Uninstall MySQL first, then change the path, then install MySQL again.
I am new to the 'cloud' concept I have a Java based application for data entry which runs well on my LAN.
On my LAN I install:
MySql
Configure Instance ( user name - root, pass - ******)
Dump dummy database entry_db that is in raw format
Then I have a jar executable file which when runs, displays a login screen.
I manage to successfully log in using predefined ID and PASSWORD (user - config pass - ******)
After logging in I configure(d):
Database Type
Database IP
User Name (Root)
Password ****
Database Name ( It auto selects database named entry_db)
In another window I configure(d) Network File Sharing Location:
file shared location
image path
back up data path
config file location in xml
(Note - When I select file shared location, all other files take the same path automatically)
Then I create Admin account rather than Supervisor account or operator account and login with the Admin account and I can now upload data and distribute to all operators.
Here is my problem:
I configure a cloud computer on Hp Cloud (they provide me a static ip) and then import database from xeround.com.
I now have a dns and port number and also a log in form using MY PHP CLIENT
How can I package all this to the same executable jar file to be used from anywhere?
How can I use it just like on my LAN from the web?
What is the optimal configuration for this?
I work in Xeround.
I have read your question and I wanted to point out a couple of things; you should use the DNS in the connection string where you used to put hostname/IP of the MYSQL server machine and the port number where you used to put the MySQL default port (3306).
Other than that you can connect from anywhere there is access to the instance. I suggest that if your jar runs in the HP cloud you create your Xeround database instance there as well (this will yield improved performance).
If you still need help, we will be more than happy to help you. Just send us a quick email to support#xeround.com and we'll take it from there.

I just installed the latest version of MySQL. Until Now I had it on Windows XP but I wanted to install this on another computer with Windows 7.
Even after configuring everything correctly, the MySQL client won't show up in the Start Folder. So I went to the bin folder of MySQL and tried opening mysql.exe but it would immediately close down.
I then tried opening mysql.exe in cmd & this is what I get
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'#'localhost' (using password: N
O)
Any Ideas how I can get this to work?
Provide username (root)
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin>mysql -uroot
Default passsword is blank, but if you set it, you will need to provde password as well
I don't recall where I first read it, but when facing this problem before, I found that I had to manually turn on a service:
Windows key+R and type Run and hit "enter"
Type "services.msc", hit "OK"
Find "MySQL56", right-click and choose "Start"
You should now be able to log in with no trouble
That's the solution that worked for me; hopefully it helps others out there.
What #Herschel said is right if you follow his steps 1-4 then try to log in with your password in command line you'll have no trouble.
You can also make this run automatically as a service, something which you need when running it on a server.
Open Run
Type "services.msc" click ok
Find the MySQL service
Right-click properties then go down to startup type:
Change it to automatic
I followed these steps and it worked for me:
1. Open Command prompt in admin and go to the location of Mysql bin folder and type -
C:\ProgramFile\mysql\bin>mysql -u root -p <password>
2. Then the prompt asks for the password. This is the password or the root user which
you had set during installation of mysql.
3. Type the password and you will login in to mysql.
4. Also make sure your mysql service is running in the backend by going to the
windows service panel and check whether the mysql service is running.
Heyoo Heyoo. So as of today 19th March 2022 I had this same issue but imma show you how I solved it. My specs before we start:
MySql Version: 8.0
OS: Windows 10
OS Build: 19044.1586
Alright, I'm fairly new to SQL, was following along with a tutorial but when it got to the point of opening the client command line it wouldn't open, it just popped up and closed back; didn't even ask for a password. After watching several tutorials (which were very unhelpful) I noticed from those tutorials that the solution they proffered was to "Active the MYSQL80 service", but that was unhelpful to me because I couldn't see that service in the services menu.
So I decided to go back to the "MySql Installer -Community" App (I installed the community version of SQL)
After the installer had opened up I clicked on the "Reconfigure" action for MySQL Server
It opened the configuration window for the SQL Server and I followed the configuration process to set up the server (turns out I didn't initially set it up when I installed MySQL 😅😅). After the configuration process was done I went back to the services menu to see if the "MYSQL80" service was there... and it was, I checked to see if it was running; following the instructions from this tutorial. After making sure the service was running I went back to the client command line, it finally opened up, allowed me to input my password, and it's working properly!!
