I could easily be on the wrong track. :) Sorry, I will try to be a
bit clearer on the network configuration. Not quite sure what pieces
are most useful however... Here is my guess at a clearer network
configuration.
Basically, I have one linux box that has two ethernet cards running
iptables with NAT/Masquerading. One is for the extranet and one for
my intranet (10.0.0.x). The internal network has 3-5 network
devices / computers. Each device has an assigned static ip in the
10.0.0.x/255.0.0.0 range with the gateway at 10.0.0.1. I usually just
use IP's (e.g. ssh 10.0.0.5 or http://10.0.0.5/) to talk amongst the
internal boxes. One of the internal boxes is the one with redhat
linux ES 4 on it where I have installed bacula as described below. I
have /etc/hosts set to define 10.0.0.5 (bacula/rh linux box) to be
inside.waldow.net and inside which my well be incorrect. I also have /
etc/host.conf set to use hosts then bind for name resolution. I can
ping / ssh 10.0.0.5, inside, or inside.waldow.net and it works as far
as I can tell.
So, for some reason the first configuration below seems to function
while the second configuration didn't and produced those errors.
Does this help?

Not sure you're on the right track. I assume these machines can
communicate with each other for other purposes. To me what jumps
out is that the director is not listening on 10.0.0.5:9101 --
either because it's listening on its external IP itself, or it's
not running. There is no clear indication to me whether
inside=10.0.0.5, but presumably the network has little to do with
it if you're running bconsole from the same machine... try to be a
little more clear with your network topography and there may be
more I can say.

Hi,
I have been trying to install bacula on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
release 4 box with out additional clients to start with. I have been
having trouble with either I believe network issues or authorization
issues. I can't tell. I currently have the box behind a NAT with an
internal IP. I have it defined in my /etc/hosts file but it
doesn't have a
DNS entry. I also have hosts before bind. So it should resolve
from hosts
before going to DNS I think.
I finally got a configuration to work, but I have had numerous
errors of the following sort before that.
28-Sep 09:50 gnome-console: Fatal error: bnet.c:775 Unable to
connect to
Director daemon on inside:9101. ERR=Connection refused
If I tried localhost or straight IP I get the same:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ./bconsole
Connecting to Director 10.0.0.5:9101
28-Sep 09:53 bconsole: Fatal error: bnet.c:775 Unable to connect to
Director daemon on 10.0.0.5:9101. ERR=Connection refused
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# nano bconsole.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ./bconsole
Connecting to Director localhost:9101
28-Sep 09:53 bconsole: Fatal error: bnet.c:775 Unable to connect to
Director daemon on localhost:9101. ERR=Connection refused
Here is the example config file I used that finally seems to work
at least for the tutorial example so far. I am unsure whether it
is best for a redhat install or not.
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" \
./configure \
--sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
--sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
--with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
--with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
--enable-smartalloc \
--enable-gnome \
--enable-static-tools \
--with-mysql \
--with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \
--with-smtp-host=localhost \
--enable-conio \
--enable-tray-monitor
I then was able to run the basic tutorial test and it seemed to
work after setting up the bacula database in mysql, starting the
services, and leaving *.conf files alone.
So, questions...
1) I think my problems have to do with trying to run bacula on
computer in an internal 10.0.0.x home network. The main connection
to the internet is DNS resolvable but my internal computers are
simple 10.0.0.x IP addresses... How have folks dealt with this to
make bacula work since if I am understanding correctly it expects
every computer resolve from DNS? I would like to back up my
computers in my internal network. I will be using bacula at work
also but all the computers there are dns resolvable.
2) The redhat example configuration has not worked yet (I am
guessing because of the DNS resolution questions though I can't
see why it should not). The example config I used follows. What do
redhat ES4 folks think is a 'good' config? Any selinux concerns?
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--sysconfdir=/etc/bacula \
--with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula \
--enable-smartalloc \
--enable-gnome \
--with-mysql \
--with-working-dir=/var/bacula \
--with-pid-dir=/var/run\
--with-subsys-dir=/var/lock/subsys \
--enable-conio \
--enable-tray-monitor
Thanks for any suggestions...
