You can run a config check on the conf file, please do so.
*bacula-dir -tc /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf(or similar)*
systemctl status bacula-director should tell you its status. Otherwise if
you get no return from,
systemctl start bacula.director
that should mean its started OK.
>From memory the bacula on Centos 7.4 is version 5 you should be able to run
version 7 instead.

*For my Centos 7 clients talking to my Debian 9 Bacula 7 director this is
what I did, a full setup should be similar.*

bacula-fd.conf over and - edit name and IP - Change working directories as
Centos 7 differs to Debian, #WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
WorkingDirectory = /var/spool/bacula #Pid Directory = /run/bacula Pid
Directory = /var/run - check all Ok with, bacula-fd -tc
/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf - If need be stop the client and delete the pid
and state file from the 2 directories above and start - Run bconsole on the
bacula server and status → client → clientname to check all is OK.
Restoring - mkdir -p /bacula/restore - chown -R bacula: /bacula - Selinux
policy will interfere with the restore. - setenforce 0 - setenforce 1 when
restore is complete *
*(if anyone has a better way please let me know)*
*So I am only installing the client *
