I have a Bacula server on my Linux Debian squeeze host (Bacula version 5.0.2) and a Bacula client on Windows XP SP3.

On my network each client can see each other, can share files and can ping.

On my local server I could run bconsole and the server responds but when I run bconsole or bat on my windows client the server does not respond.

Here are my configuration files:

bacula-dir.conf:

#
# Default Bacula Director Configuration file
#
#  The only thing that MUST be changed is to add one or more
#   file or directory names in the Include directive of the
#   FileSet resource.
#
#  For Bacula release 5.0.2 (28 April 2010) -- debian squeeze/sid
#
#  You might also want to change the default email address
#   from root to your address.  See the "mail" and "operator"
#   directives in the Messages resource.

I have checked my firewall and disabled the firewall but it doesn't work.

  • You need to wrap the text from the config file, its too jumbled to look at. May 5, 2012 at 8:05
  • Can you do the following as debugging procedures: 1) Change the director address to the public address instead of the local address and restart Bacula 2) Run bconsole on your server hosting the Bacula director and execute status <client-name-here> and report the status of these two commands? And yes, wrap text and make sure your configuration file is legible in the preview - if it isn't, then we can't quite read it easily. I'd say that your question requires a bit more debugging effort from your end. Considering that it's been migrated from StackOverflow, you are excused.

You probably are getting blocked by your firewall.

sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9101 -j ACCEPT
