Error: , director seems to be down or blocking our request.

[Corint Official]

Hello everyone,

i've been using Bacula for ages and now im trying to test bareos..

I installed everything correctly but when i login into the webgui i get the message "Error: , director seems to be down or blocking our request." The director is also active and running but gives this message.

systemctl status bareos-dir -l

Feb 19 14:06:22 systemd[1]: Starting Bareos Director Daemon service...

Feb 19 14:06:22 systemd[1]: Can't open PID file /var/lib/bareos/bareos-dir.9101.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory

Feb 19 14:06:22 systemd[1]: Started Bareos Director Daemon service.

I've been searching for fixes etc. on google for hours but couldn't find anything related that has been answered.

Maybe you guys can help me out.

Hi,

i'm new to bareos too so don't expect to much from me.

I would start checking the basics.

- are permissions on /var/lib/bareos ok?
- is the service really listening (netstat)?
- what does bconsole say?
- are all package versions the same (webui, director, ...)?
- is iptables blocking requests on the loopback interface?
- what are your logs saying (apache, ...)?

Regards
