Hey guys,

OK I was able to get bacula-client version 7 installed on a CentOS 7 machine.

[root@web1:~/certs] #rpm -qa | grep bacula

bacula-libs-7.0.5-1.el7.x86_64

bacula-common-7.0.5-1.el7.x86_64

bacula-client-7.0.5-1.el7.x86_64

But the service fails to start:

[root@web1:~/certs] #service bacula-fd status -l

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  -l bacula-fd.service

Here's my bacula-fd config:

[root@web1:~/certs] #cat /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf

#

# Default  Bacula File Daemon Configuration file

#

#  For Bacula release 5.2.13 (19 February 2013) -- redhat

#

# There is not much to change here except perhaps the

# File daemon Name to

#

#

# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon

#

Director {

  Name = ops.jokefire.com

  Password = Duk30fZh0u

  TLS Certificate = /etc/pki/tls/certs/web1.jokefire.com.crt

  TLS Key = /etc/pki/tls/private/web1.jokefire.com.key

  TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/pki/CA/certs/ca.crt

  TLS Enable = yes

  TLS Require = yes

}

#

# "Global" File daemon configuration specifications

#

FileDaemon {                          # this is me

  Name = web1.jokefire.com

  FDport = 9102                  # where we listen for the director

  WorkingDirectory = /var/bacula

  Pid Directory = /var/run

  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

  TLS Certificate = /etc/pki/tls/certs/web1.jokefire.com.crt

  TLS Key = /etc/pki/tls/private/web1.jokefire.com.key

  TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/pki/CA/certs/ca.crt

  TLS Enable = yes

  TLS Require = yes

}

# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director

Messages {

  Name = Standard

  director = cloud-dir = all, !skipped, !restored

}

And here are my certs and how they're permissioned:

-r-------- 1 root   root   2212 Feb 13 18:24 /etc/pki/CA/certs/ca.crt

-r-------- 1 bacula bacula 1428 Mar  1 19:58 /etc/pki/tls/certs/web1.jokefire.com.crt

-r-------- 1 bacula bacula  891 Mar  1 19:58 /etc/pki/tls/private/web1.jokefire.com.key

I'd appreciate any advice you guys can give on how to troubleshoot this. I am not at all familiar with CentOS 7 just yet. It seems they do things a little differently on this latest version of the OS.

Thanks

Tim
