You need to specify the location of your conf file with the -c flag when you run from a command prompt. You can check the command line used by the service in the registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bacula-fd), but you'll want to remove the "/service" part when running from the command line.

I've installed bacula-fd 5.0.2 on Server 2008 R2. The FD started automatically after installation. I shut it down, edited the bacula-fd.conf file to change the password, and now bacula-fd won't start at all. Can't double click the bacula-fd.exe because when you do, a command window flashes then is gone, and nothing. Starting it from the command line yields the following error: PS C:\Program Files\Bacula> .\bacula-fd PS C:\Program Files\Bacula> 01-Aug 11:30 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at /tmp/bacula/bacula/src/lib/parse_conf.c:898 Config error: Cannot open config file "C:\ProgramData\Bacula/bacula-fd.conf": No such file or directory Can someone help me figure this out? I'm at a total loss. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by rlh1...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Got Input?
