Re: [bareos-users] Director service fails to start

[Philipp Storz]

Hello Mike,

return value 42 means BEXIT_CONFIG_ERROR
(see https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/core/src/include/exit_codes.h#L30)

So probably something is wrong with your configuration.

You also might want to check our youtube channel, as there we have a screencast showing how to
install Bareos on windows:

If the proble only exists after the restart, and before it worked I could imagine that you database
server was not started after the reboot.

Best regards,

Philipp
