    Unhappy Ubuntu Bacula-Client - - Configuration Help Plz..

    I have Bacula 5.0.0-9 running on a CentOS x64 Box, I have configured Bacula to backup 2 Win2003 Server at present and all is well, I want it to backup my Ubuntu Desktop as well as 2 more Linux Server.
    I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with bacula-client 5.0.3-0ubuntu2
    I'm having problems configuring the Ubuntu bacula-client so it can run backups, I'm not sure if I've installed all the right packages but this is what i did:
    I ran
    sudo apt-get install bacula-client bacula-common bacula-console bacula-fd
    I then edited bacula-fd.conf and bconsole.conf and started the service /etc/init.d/bacula-fd start
    I also open port 9102 -
    root@ubuntu:~# netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
    tcp 0 0 127.0.1.1:9102 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3687/bacula-fd
    tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 867/cupsd

    Bconsole works fine i can connect and run jobs,verify etc..but the bacula-client has errors when i try to run a backup - Fatal error: bsock.c.135 unable to connect to client ERR=Connection refused

    What am I Missing ??

    Here's my bacula-fd.conf

    # Default Bacula File Daemon Configuration file
    #
    # For Bacula release 5.0.3 (04 August 2010) -- ubuntu 11.04

    # There is not much to change here except perhaps the

    #
    # List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
    #
    Director {
    Name = bacula-dir
    Password = "bacula-dir password"
    }

    #

    # status of the file daemon
    #
    #Director {
    # Name = buntu-mon
    # Password = "hKyy3ScGadhHOg2uMQvaTzwDXRiDWN5Sr"
    # Monitor = yes
    #}

    FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director

    Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
    Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
    FDAddress = ubuntu.domain.local #127.0.0.1
    }
    here's my bconsole.conf

    Director {
    Name = bacula-dir
    DIRport = 9101
    address = bacula.domain.local
    Password = "bacula-dir password"
    }

    At a fast glance I think this is your problem:

    FDAddress = ubuntu.domain.local #127.0.0.1

    you have to set the FQDN and check your /etc/hosts file too. Should work afterwards. HTH

    the ubuntu.domain.local is just for reference
    i actually have ubuntu.example.local

    I will add it to my etc/hosts and see what happens

    @ Gyokuro & Habitual
    Thanks Much for the /etc/hosts tip
    Everything is working now

    I added the Bacula Server FQDN to the bacula client /etc/hosts on the Computer
    Then added the ubuntu desktop FQDN to the Bacula Server /etc/hosts on the Server
    I then used IP adress instead of FQDN for the FDName (i might change this back to see if it will work with the FQDN)

    Thanks Again
