Ok guys, I seem to have stumbled upon something interesting.
The attached bdirjson output is irrelevant due that is the one in effect before
Baculum tries to update bacula-dir.conf and it's got the correct information.
I performed a little bit of code change in Baculum API so even though the
configuration did not pass verifications it would be written to bacula-dir.conf
to find the actual configuration error. Turns out that baculum would write the
"MaximumVolumeBytes" property of any pool that has any size specified between
double quotes (") (like a string) making bacula-dir -t refuse the value because
it seems text and not a number to it and complaining that it is not getting a
size.
The error message is a bit misleading since it looks like Baculum API is trying
to "convert" from the Vanilla configure file with the comments and so, to a
more redacted version, and chokes when it tries to write the MaximumVolumeBytes
that comes specified in the Default and File pools that comes on the Vanilla
bacula-dir.conf file.
TL;DRI found a workaround as follows:
in /usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/API/Class/BaculaSettings.php in the
formatDirectiveValue function, i changed this (line 430 in baculum 9.2.1)
} elseif (is_int($value)) {
for this:
} elseif (is_numeric($value)) {
Thanks,
Carlos

Hello Guys, Sorry for the late response.
In the attached bdirjson_output.txt is the number (it's either the "Default"
pool, or the "File", neither of which I use, I use the one I created called
"Diario" with Volume Retention of 2592000).
{
"Pool": {
"Name": "Default",
"PoolType": "Backup",
"LabelFormat": "Default-",
"MaximumVolumes": 100,
"MaximumVolumeJobs": 5,
"MaximumVolumeBytes": 5368709120,
"VolumeRetention": 604800,
"AutoPrune": true,
"Recycle": true
}
},

Subject: New to Bacula-GUI, Having a recurring JSON-related error.
Hello Bacula Developers,
I'm new to the project and gotta say thank you for such a fine piece of
software.
As I am using different types of hardware to perform the functions of the
Backup Solution, I've been faced with compiling bacula 9.2.1 from source code,
which has worked well for me so far. Everything is up and running, the
director, the SD and the FDs, no hassle about that.
My only issue comes from bacula-gui; whenever I request to perform changes
either in clientes, pools or pretty much anything i get a nasty message in the
bottom of the screen stating the following:
"
Error 94: Config validation error.Array( [output] => JSON tool returned wrong
exitcode. Output:bacula-dir: ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:788Config error:
expected a size number, got: VolumeRetention : line 180, col 18 of file
/etc/bacula/config_8etTke VolumeRetention = 60480012-Oct 18:15 bacula-dir:
ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:788Config error: expected a size number, got:
VolumeRetention : line 180, col 18 of file /etc/bacula/config_8etTke
VolumeRetention = 604800 [exitcode] => 82 ) "
604800 is a variable number and it changes according to the VolumeRetention of
my pool, which is expected. Seems to me something else is required that I'm
missing.
On the other hand, webmin has been my helpful hand in configuring and
performing my first test backups succesfully, but i'd like to use Bacula
products accross the board, namely the bacula-gui interface which looks really
polished vs the webmin module.
If you can provide a hint on which logs to look at, I'd be more than glad to
help or contribute.
Extra info.bacula-gui-9.2.1 (baculum) extracted from source tarball, configured
using
make build DESTDIR=/tmp/baculum-release SAMPLETYPE=deb-template \

on raspbian stretch . API and Web configured succesfully.
Apache2 Version: 2.4.25-3+deb9u5
Version: 1:7.0+49
bdirjson 9.2.1
I also attached an output of the bdirjson command without options and a screen
capture of the error.
Thanks,
Carlos.
