failed to write config resource file

[Daniel]

Hi,
I have a fresh install of bareos 16.2.4 on my Ubuntu Server 16.04. Backups can be done and the web-ui works, too.
But if I want to add a client through bconsole and
"configure add client name=arbeitsplatz-daniel−fd address=192.168.1.118 password=mypw" (without ") I'll only get the error: "failed to write config resource file".

I have no idea why. I just followed the steps under http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#QQ2-1-41

Be sure you have /etc/bareos with owner bareos:bareos and also sub dir like
the new bareos-dir.d/*

Or the daemon user under which bareos-dir daemon is running.

I didn't change a user, so bareos should be right. I have the following output:
root@backuptest:/etc/bareos# ls -la
insgesamt 48
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Nov 22 12:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 110 root root 12288 Nov 22 12:37 ..

and
root@backuptest:/etc# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Nov 22 12:31 bareos
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 22 12:37 bareos-webui

looks for me (linux beginner) like bareos is the owner of the folders.

Please provide the output of

ls -la /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/

I got it! After complete removing bareos (incl. autoremove) and a new installation of bareos, it works!
Thanks for your help!
