I recently installed bareos from the bareos repos on Ubuntu 16.04

The bareos-dir daemon will start from the command line, but will not

successfully starts the daemon (ps aux | grep bareos).
but the following will not and silently fail (except the
/etc/init.d/bareos-dir script which displays "[ ok ] Starting
bareos-dir (via systemctl): bareos-dir.service."
:
# /etc/init.d/bareos-dir start
# service bareos-dir start
# systemctl start bareos-dir.service
The bareos-sd and bareos-fd do start normally at startup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
From the bareos-dir man page:
-d nn Set debug level to nn.
-dt Print timestamp in debug output.
-f Run in foreground (for debugging).
You'll want to run the director not as root but as (probably) the user
bareos. (I'm not using Ubuntu, so I'm not sure what user the director
runs as.) So su to the user bareos and then run the director in the
foreground with debugging turned on. That will probably tell you the
problem.
My first guess would be a problem with the configuration file.
Also, have you checked the Bareos log file? Mine is in
/var/log/bareos/bareos.log.
Thanks for the recommendations.
I think the problem was that I installed bareos from the Ubuntu repo
first, then removed it and installed bareos from the bareos repo.
Going with the devops philosophy of cattle and not pets, I shot the
image in the head and created a new image in which I installed bareos
only from the bareos repos. This fixed the problem.
