I followed the guide (http://www.reportula.org/reportula/documentation-2/reportula-instalation/install-bacula-postgresql-reportula-from-scratch-on-ubuntu-14-04/) on your site to a T and came up with an issue reading the bconsole.conf from the admin site. (Reload Bacula Configuation)

Correct SUDO rules are in place as described in the documentation: www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bconsole www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bacula-dir

I also tested the sudo rule from command line: su -l www-data -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf" Connecting to Director localhost:9101 1000 OK: gnsyrbac01-dir Version: 5.2.6 (21 February 2012) Enter a period to cancel a command. * Everything looks good on that end.

In logs: sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified Not sure what the cause could be, any insight?

I also added a bunch of stuff in the configurator and found that it all went poof when I tried to re-read the configuration files.

Tried the same setup on Debian 7.7 and have exactly the same issue.

Same on Ubuntu 13.10 and 12.04. Not sure how this works or if there is a way around getting this working. Please let me know if there is a way to get this working. Thank You.

This is the new sudo rule I used.

www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bconsole, /usr/sbin/bacula-dir, /etc/bacula/*, /bin/echo

Changing the /etc/bacula to 777 for testing worked. Seems to be a permissions issue and also I do have the www-data added to the bacula group.
