A look at this image first confuses me, but later on, I think I
understood, where the trouble comes from.
You have used the bconsole in the bareos-webui?
The admin user in the webui does not have the permission to run the
configure command. You may have seen this in its profile ACL.
When the documentation speaks about bconsole, it means the command line
bconsole, running on (Linux) shell.
Please rerun the configure command there.
Of course, it is also possible to run the configure command using the
bareos-webui console interface, by changing the ACLs. However, the webui
console also have other limitation, so I recommend to execute the
bconsole command on a shell (as root, so it has full permission).
Regards,
Jörg
