hey guys,
Running into an issue with SELinux on my bacula server.
With selinux turned on, I can't write to the backup directory.
This is what I get when I try:

a director config for years at this point. So I'm not
sure why it wasn't connecting properly until I tried connecting to the

Just thought I'd let you know. You've all been so helpful in the past.
Thanks,

I'm having an odd issue with bacula 7.0.5 (on CentOS 7) in that I can start
it manually in debug mode. However it doesn't start correctly either using
the config script. And it doesn't work if I try to start up bacula using
the same flags as the init script.

Hey guys,
I've had to rebuild my bacula server recently. And everything seemed to go
okay with the install, but for some reason the bconsole can't conect to the
director.
This is all I see when I try:

That was it!! Thanks. Not sure why I keep forgetting this. I'll make a note

I can see in your dir.conf that you are using an admin user to connect to

Hi Josip,
I wonder if your bacula director is reading the correct config file.
Could you check that your bacula-dir is down and try to start the
bacula-dir manually with the debug set?
For example:

That should show some debug output
Hi Josip,
Are you able to connect to the mysql using the same credentials as
bacula but using mysql client with -h localhost option, e.g.
