You need to specify the location of your conf file with the -c flag when you
run from a command prompt. You can check the command line used by the
service in the registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bacula-fd),
but you'll want to remove the "/service" part when running from the command
line.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Bacula on Windows 2008 won't start

I've scoured the universe for others with this problem, and I promise you,
only one other person has posted about this back in 2010 and there was no
resolution, or at least, nothing helpful. I've installed bacula-fd 5.0.2 on
Server 2008 R2. The FD started automatically after installation. I shut it
down, edited the bacula-fd.conf file to change the password, and now
bacula-fd won't start at all. Can't double click the bacula-fd.exe because
when you do, a command window flashes then is gone, and nothing. Starting it
from the command line yields the following error:

PS C:\Program Files\Bacula> .\bacula-fd
PS C:\Program Files\Bacula>
01-Aug 11:30 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at
/tmp/bacula/bacula/src/lib/parse_conf.c:898
Config error: Cannot open config file
"C:\ProgramData\Bacula/bacula-fd.conf": No such file or directory


Can someone help me figure this out? I'm at a total loss.
