Problem succesfully running freebayes

Hey, I have a sorted and indexed .bam file, and I am running it through freebayes, with the script :

freebayes -f ref.fa -@ in.vcf.gz aln.bam >var.vcf

Before change headers in fasta from chr1, chr2 .. to 1, 2, 3 ... , I had error:

unable to find FASTA index entry for '1'

Now, after change I have:

unable to find FASTA index entry for 'chr1'

Could you give me some advice?

Something like that: chr1 chr10 chr11 chr11_KI270721v1_random chr12 chr13 chr14 chr14_GL000009v2_random chr14_GL000225v1_random chr14_KI270722v1_random

and so on.

Numbers from 1 to 64185939 - in second case

and what is the output of gunzip -c in.vcf.gz | grep -v '# ' | cut -f 1 | uniq
as well as the output of samtools view -H aln.bam | grep '^@SQ' |cut -f 2

gunzip -c in.vcf.gz | grep -v '# ' | cut -f 1 | uniq

output are metadata from vcf and column #CHROM, that is: chr1 chr2 chr3 chr4 chr5 chr6 chr7 chr8 chr9 chr10 chr11 chr12 chr13 chr14 chr15 chr16 chr17 chr18 chr19 chr20 chr21 chr22 chrX chrY chr1_KI270706v1_random chr4_GL000008v2_random chr7_KI270803v1_alt chr15_KI270850v1_alt

samtools view -H aln.bam | grep '^@SQ' |cut -f 2

you're using a set of file BAM/vcf/ref that don't use the same dictionary (=chromosomes names, chr suffix , order of the chromosomes). The program will only work if the BAM/REF/VCF use the same dictionary.

Okey, so any advise which file has to bo modified and which way?
