[Bacula-users] Bacula on Windows 2008 won't start
I've scoured the universe for others with this problem, and I promise you, only one other person has posted about this back in 2010 and there was no resolution, or at least, nothing helpful. I've installed bacula-fd 5.0.2 on Server 2008 R2. The FD started automatically after installation. I shut it down, edited the bacula-fd.conf file to change the password, and now bacula-fd won't start at all. Can't double click the bacula-fd.exe because when you do, a command window flashes then is gone, and nothing. Starting it from the command line yields the following error: PS C:\Program Files\Bacula .\bacula-fd PS C:\Program Files\Bacula 01-Aug 11:30 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at /tmp/bacula/bacula/src/lib/parse_conf.c:898 Config error: Cannot open config file C:\ProgramData\Bacula/bacula-fd.conf: No such file or directory Can someone help me figure this out?

You need to specify the location of your conf file with the -c flag when you run from a command prompt. You can check the command line used by the service in the registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bacula-fd), but you'll want to remove the /service part when running from the command line. -Original Message- From: rlh1533 [mailto:bacula-fo...@backupcentral.com] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 8:59 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Bacula on Windows 2008 won't start I've scoured the universe for others with this problem, and I promise you, only one other person has posted about this back in 2010 and there was no resolution, or at least, nothing helpful.

Why install 5.0.2? 5.0.3 is current and just as easy to fetch, it also puts the config file in a more obvious location, are you sure you notice the path the fd is compiled to look in by default as per the error above? -- Got Input?

The bacula registry key has this in it for bacula-fd.exe execution: C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.exe /service -c C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf That is the correct location of bacula-fd.conf. In a command window, this command seems to work: PS C:\Program Files\Bacula .\bacula-fd -c C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf At least, after I use that command, I have these in the shell, and not an error message. After that, I still can't connect to the fd though from the director... +-- |This was sent by rlh1...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Got Input?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula on Windows 2008 won't start
Can you telnet to it on the fd port? I would first try that on the client system, and assuming it makes a connection, try it again from the director system. If it fails to connect from that system then you've got some sort of firewall issue. -Original Message- From: rlh1533 [mailto:bacula-fo...@backupcentral.com] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 9:44 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Bacula on Windows 2008 won't start The bacula registry key has this in it for bacula-fd.exe execution: C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.exe /service -c C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf That is the correct location of bacula-fd.conf.

I am using 5.0.2 because that is the version of the director. The config file is in the same folder as the fd .exe: C:\Program Files\Bacula\ Ok, look *very* closely at the error? Unless you specify the config file, it looks in C:\ProgramData\Bacula *NOT* C:\Program Files\Bacula -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

In this case, my guess is you edited the config with a non ascii only editor. This happened to me the first time I setup a win fd.

I can't telnet to that port...I believe the reason is because bacula-fd isn't running to accept any connections, though. I've completely turned the firewall off, so I don't think that's the problem +-- |This was sent by rlh1...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Editing the config with a non-ASCII only editor will screw it up...? You've got to be kidding me...I just used notepad in Windows. What should I use? Of course, if it adds xml formatting for example... Notepad is good, as per the docs: On most modernWin32 machines, you can edit the conf files with notepad and choose output encoding UTF-8. Honestly, its been so long as I use vi on windows as well.. You certainly can check to see if the process is running to remove the ambiguity... -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula on Windows 2008 won't start
Used notepad, the process is not running. It definitely will not start on Windows. Have a closer look, I just opened the fd conf on this Win7 wkst as it doesn't ever get used often as I had to change the director name anyway. I intentional used another encoding method _other_ than what the docs called and it won't start. Restored the backup, edited the dir name and saved it properly and it starts. -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

@Joeseph: At your behest, I went back and saved the file as UTF-8, rather than ANSI, and the bacula-fd.exe works! I never would have thought that. You just made my day sir.
