Hello,

I'm the current mantainer of Bacula in Fedora, I stepped in as a mantainer during the Fedora 15 cycle. One of the first thing I did was close all the old bugs, including the one you mention.
I don't have the symptoms you describe.

The log file should be created automatically; and I don't have any permission errors in the logfiles.
Do you have anything like the following in your /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf?

Catalog {
  append = "/var/log/bacula/bacula.log" = all, !skipped
}

There's no current bacula package in Fedora that owns /var/lib/bacula; it seems a leftover from a previous installation.
Did you upgrade your distribution?

Thanks for this Felix.

I've worked through it, including restoring the backup from the old server,
and restarted the director.

However bconsole still hangs and fails to access the director.

I did see entries in /var/log/messages complaining permission denied
on /var/log/bacula.log which didn't exist so I created that

touch /var/log/bacula.log
chown bacula:bacula /var/log/bacula.log
chmod 660 /var/log/bacula.log

(The FD still complained about /var/lib/bacula being missing too. That was
wrong in the RPM's back on F14).

which stopped the errors but didn't get the director working. The problem does
appear to be with the director as it doesn't appear in

netstat -a|grep bacu

although it does appear in

ps ax|grep bacu[l]
 1012 ?        Ssl
0:00 /usr/sbin/bacula-dir -f -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -u bacula -g
bacula


Anyone got any ideas?
