Hi Josh Thank you for your reply and advice
I have checked again and there is nothing using that port. I have also tried changing the port but bacula-fd still fails to bind to the new port with the same error message.

It still seems like something is amiss in the networking config, because I believe that error means that the bind() call failed when bacula-fd attempted to bind to the configured addr:port. With bacula-fd stopped, does netstat -nlt show some other app, (perhaps a bacula-fd zombie process), bound to TCP port 9102 on ANY interface? > > > Kind Regards > Brad > > ----- Original Message ----- > step 3.: "Josh Fisher" <jfis...@pvct.com> > To: "Mac" <m...@eduki2.co.uk> > Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Monday, 2 December, 2019 7:01:00 PM > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Sudden error on Bacula client 7.4.4 > > > On 12/2/2019 11:46 AM, Mac wrote: >> Hi Josh >> >> Thank you for your suggestion >> >> This vm is a web server and all sites use remote DNS - everything else is >> working as expected. >> >> interfaces - is all correct. >> >> So I do not this is an ip address issue. > > Then are there iptables rules on the VM blocking bacula-fd's port (TCP > 9102)? > > >> Jose >> >> This is an unmanaged vps from a host - I have two vps's from them and the >> other one is working as expected >> >> I have already checked with the host if they were possibly blocking port >> 9102 - I have also tried changing the port.
