bareos-sd Config error: Cannot open config file "/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/*/*.conf": Permission denied

[John Zoch]

  I'm running FreeBSD 11.2-Stable (running an older version because IXSystems pulled support for fiber channel in TrueNAS Core).

I'm trying to run Bareos 20.0.0_3 in an IOCage jail.

My tape hardware is a Dell PowerVault ML6020 and all of the LTO4 tape drives are Fiber channel.

When I attempt:

=========================================

root@Bareos:/var/log/dbconfig-common # bareos start
Starting the Bareos Storage daemon
bareos-sd: ERROR TERMINATION at lib/parse_conf.cc:242
Config error: Cannot open config file "/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/*/*.conf": Permission denied

=========================================

root@Bareos:/var/log/dbconfig-common # service bareos-sd start
Starting bareos_sd.
bareos-sd: ERROR TERMINATION at lib/parse_conf.cc:242
Config error: Cannot open config file "/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/*/*.conf": Permission denied

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bareos-sd: WARNING: failed to start bareos_sd
root@Bareos:/var/log/dbconfig-common #

=========================================

My questions are:

What CONF file is it trying to access?   

Does wildcards in the error even make sense?   

Do I need to edit a CONF file to remove wildcards and provide an explicit path to a particular CONF file?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hey,

Check that all files under /etc/bareos are indeed owned by user bareos and group bareos. I seem to recall having this type of errors frequently when adding new configs and forgetting to change the ownership/groupship from root:root to bareos:bareos.

HTH,

Benny
