Hi Larry, I'm CC'ing this email to the bacula users list, as in general you'll get a much better response asking the list as a whole than one random person off of the list such as myself.

That email post you mention was about problems with the console connecting to the director, whereas you're having problems starting the director, so none of my suggestions would really help. I'd suggest you try starting the director on its own by hand, and see if it produces any error messages that point you in the right direction. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
