I was not confident how to run DIR in the foreground but think I found out how to run FD in the foreground... Sorry... Here is what I tried and hopefully it is more information. I tried the following config again and have a little more information and I am a bit more used to bacula now with the emphasis on 'a bit'. I think I have more specific info - though I am probably not quite there... CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ --sysconfdir=/etc/bacula \ --with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula \ --enable-smartalloc \ --enable-gnome \ --with-mysql \ --with-working-dir=/var/bacula \ --with-pid-dir=/var/run \ --with-subsys-dir=/var/lock/subsys \ --enable-conio bacula-dir started, bacula-fd appeared to start (said [OK] ), bacula-sd started. I was able to run bconsole however when I tried 'status client' it would not talk with the client and then I discovered bacula-fd didn't actually start or was not running with I did a bacula-fd status. dir and sd were still running. I then setenforce to '0' which turns off selinus as I understand. tried to start the fd again but no luck. So I tried running it via the command line with the follow options. I am not sure I am doing this correctly but here is what I did... [EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -d5 -f -v -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf 30-Sep 10:00 inside-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at bsys.c:387 Could not open pid file. /var/run--with-subsys-dir/bacula-fd.9102.pid ERR=No such file or directory This is again with selinux in the 'permissive' state which I believe it 'off'. I am not sure where to go from here except to go back to the config that was working. I had gotten that config to back up '/' on the default setup and looks like it is a good install. I also am starting to like keeping the build in a more focused place. I will keep working with the config that I get to work and setup a trial backup system to learn more about bacula use. If Arno or other folks have other install suggestions I can come back and try them.
