Re: [Bacula-users] Webacula cannot execute bconsole
I was finally able to resolve this issue, so I wanted to post what worked for me. Because of the numerous changes made to try to fix this, I don't know the minimum changes required to fix it, but my best guess is: 1. verify permissions on Webacula webroot and all contents are: rwxr-xr-x. apache apache 2. reset SELinux contexts on Webacula webroot to defaults 3. change SELinux contexts on Webacula webroot and all contents to: system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 I don't know if number 2 is required, but I completed 1 and 3 above prior to today, but still got the error. After completing both 2 and 3 today, it worked. Thanks for all the help.

You will need to create the policies within SELinux in order to provide the "permissions" in the extended attributes that allows Webacula to interact with the director. This is not a trivial exercise, but would be quite valuable to the community if successful. This is why many shops don't consistently use SELinux in enforcing mode.

[Bacula-users] Webacula cannot execute bconsole
Hello, I've been banging around on this for a couple days, searching the web with no solution yet. I'm hoping someone can help. I installed Bacula 5.0.0 on CentOS 6.3 and it works fine. I installed Webacula 5.5.1 and am getting the following error when logging in: ERROR: There was a problem executing bconsole. See below. ERROR Command: /usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf output: Connecting to Director localhost:9101 I am able to run the above command in terminal as root and the apache user without any errors. The apache user is a member of the bacula group. The bacula groups permissions are: r-- on /etc/bacula/bconsle.conf r-x on /usr/sbin/bconsole I also set apache as the owner of /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf and /usr/sbin/bconsole, with no change in bahavior. Related lines in Webacula's config.ini: bacula.sudo = "" bacula.bconsole = "/usr/sbin/bconsole" bacula.bconsolecmd = " -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf" Any ideas?

Re: [Bacula-users] Webacula cannot execute bconsole
Yes, bconsole is looking for the director using "localhost". All Bacula components and Webacula are running on the same server. I replaced localhost with the servers hostname, same results. Bacula itself seems to be working fine. Prior to installing Webacula I confirmed I was able to backup and restore local volumes as well as data on remote clients.

It probably should not be since that could prevent bacula from being a network backup program.. John -- Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
