Re: [Bacula-users] first time Bacula user getting error message trying t

If you cannot see it with 'ps -e' and there is nothing with port 9101 when you do a 'netstat -aln', it won't be running.

Your best bet is to first test the config file with bacula-dir -t /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf although I find that if it fails here, it tends to fail 'loudly' when starting it anyway. Some of the output is possibly being suppressed by the init scripts.

I'd suggest editing the init script at '/etc/init.d/bacula-director' and adding -d200 (debug level 200) onto the end of the ARGS string. You'll get some useful info next time you do '/etc/init.d/bacula-director start' and that should help further your troubleshooting. If you cannot find the troubleshooting help on the interwebs after you've found why it's failing, call back in here. :)

Thanks for the quick reply.

I searched and it doesn't appear that I have that script.

Also, I may be wrong about bacula-dir running. Previously when I attempted
to run it, it would report config errors. But then it appeared to run with
no errors, bit I cannot get a 'ps' response for it.

I'm pretty new to linux, but not really new to networking. Haven't 
attempted to compile anything myself yet, although I started to with 
bacula, but quit when I hit errors. Thought I would revisit that once 
I get it running in some fashion to really see what it does.

But I digress...

I'm trying to run Bacula on a Kubuntu version 8.04 installation. I'm 
using SSH and VNC to operate and configure the Kubuntu machine as I 
want to run it headless in a home server configuration.

I downloaded and installed the package version listed as 
2.2.8-5ubuntu7 as provided under the Adept package manager for Kubuntu

I'm using mySQL, which appears to be running. I went through the 
default config files and changed the @whatever@ variables to fit my 
system, and configured for File storage.

I started bacula-dir, bacula-sd and bacula-fd without errors.

I ran both BAT and BCONSOLE and receive the following error....

bconsole JobId 0: Fatal error: bsock.c:129 Unable to connect to 
Director daemon on xxxmyservernamexxx:9101. ERR=Connection refused.

I've searched for this error and come up empty. Turning to you because 
I'm not sure what to try next.

You probably need to create the database using create_bacula_database
scripts
