Hello,
i can no longer access my Bareos WebUI. I changed the IP address of my Bareos Director. Previously, the Director was listening on IP address 0.0.0.0:9101. Now it's listening on IP address 192.168.20.131. I made the change in the "bareos-dir.conf" file by adding the following entry: "Dir Address = bareos.intern.example.com". Since the change, I can no longer access the web interface. I receive the following error message in the top left corner of the web interface:
...
Error: Connection refused, director seems to be down or blocking our request.
... 
I would appreciate any assistance. Regards, Stefan Harbich

Hi,
i was able to solve the problem myself. I forgot to change the entry "diraddress=bareos.intern.example.com" in the file "/etc/bareos-webui/directors.ini".
Once I did that, the WebUI access worked again.
