I just installed bacula on Ubuntu Gutsy (built bacula from source) and am having a strange problem. In bconsole doing 'status client' (during the initial test run as described at http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Brief_Tutorial.html) returns an error 'failed to connect to server-fd'

 

This is a test run and the FD, Director and SD are all on the same machine.

 

hosts.allow and hosts.deny are empty apart from comments.

 

I can telnet locally to port 9102.

 

'netstat -nlp e | grep 9102' returns:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9102            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN 

 

bacula-fs.conf contains in the list of directors permitted a correct entry, the password listed matches the password in the client entry in bacula-dir.conf... here are the entries in those files with the obvious editing:

 

IN BACULA-FD.CONF

 

Director {
  Name = server-dir
  Password = "SOME PASSWORD (MATCHES OTHER ENTRY BELOW)"
}

 

IN BACULA-DIR.CONF

Client {
  Name = server-fd
  Address = server
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "SOME PASSWORD (MATCHES OTHER ENTRY ABOVE)"          # password$
  File Retention = 30 days            # 30 days
  Job Retention = 6 months            # six months
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

 

 

How can I further debug this?

 

thanks
