45 WARNING : Your www-data user must be able to execute bconsole and able to read bconsole.conf !
46 You can create an bconsole group for that.
48 ################ INSTALL PERL LIBRARY ##########################
51 - DBI (with mysql or postgresql support DBD::Pg and DBD::mysql)
57 You can install perl modules with CPAN
61 Or use your distribution
62 apt-get install libgd-graph-perl libhtml-template-perl libexpect-perl
63 apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbi-perl
65 ################ APACHE CONFIGURATION ##########################
67 It could be a good idea to protect your bweb installation.
69 Put this in you httpd.conf, and add user with htpasswd
71 <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb>
72 Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
74 AuthName MyPrivateFile
75 AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htpasswd
81 ################ CONFIGURATION #################################
83 /etc/bweb/config looks like : (you can edit it inside bweb)
85 'graph_font' => '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf',
87 'config_file' => '/etc/bweb/config',
88 'bconsole' => '/usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf',
98 'device' => '/dev/changer',
104 'mtxcmd' => '/usr/sbin/mtx',
110 }, 'Bweb::Autochanger' )
113 'template_dir' => '/usr/share/bweb/tpl',
114 'dbi' => 'DBI:mysql:database=bacula',
118 'email_media' => 'eric@localhost'
122 ################ BRESTORE ######################################
124 If you want to use brestore with bweb, you must associate mime type
125 text/brestore with your brestore.pl.
127 ################ POSTGRESQL NOTES ##############################
129 If you think that Mysql is not a great database (or just a toy), you must add
130 function to the Postgresql bacula database to get Bweb works.
132 psql -u bacula bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
134 ################ BCONSOLE NOTES ################################
136 You must use bconsole without conio/readline support. For that, use
139 ################ BACULA LOG ####################################
141 To use Bweb log engine, you must apply this little patch and have the
142 new Log table in your database.
144 After, you can fill your database with :
146 tail -f /tmp/log.sql | bacula -u bacula bacula
150 patch -p1 < message.patch
