22 mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
23 install -m 755 -o root -g root bweb/cgi/*.pl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
26 mkdir -m 750 /etc/bweb
27 chown root:www-data /etc/bweb
28 echo '$VAR1 = { template_dir => "/usr/share/bweb/tpl" };' > /etc/bweb/config
29 chown www-data /etc/bweb/config

42 You can create an bconsole group for that.
44 ################ INSTALL PERL LIBRARY ##########################
47 - DBI (with mysql or postgresql support DBD::Pg and DBD::mysql)

57 Or use your distribution
58 apt-get install libgd-graph-perl libhtml-template-perl libexpect-perl
59 apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbi-perl
61 ################ APACHE CONFIGURATION ##########################
63 It could be a good idea to protect your bweb installation.
65 Put this in you httpd.conf, and add user with htpasswd
67 <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb>
68 Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
70 AuthName MyPrivateFile
71 AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htpasswd
77 ################ CONFIGURATION #################################
79 /etc/bweb/config looks like : (you can edit it inside bweb)
81 'graph_font' => '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf',
83 'config_file' => '/etc/bweb/config',
84 'bconsole' => '/usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf',
94 'device' => '/dev/changer',
100 'mtxcmd' => '/usr/sbin/mtx',

118 ################ BRESTORE ######################################
120 If you want to use brestore with bweb, you must associate mime type
121 text/brestore with your brestore.pl.
123 ################ POSTGRESQL NOTES ##############################
125 If you think that Mysql is not a great database (or just a toy), you must add
126 function to the Postgresql bacula database to get Bweb works.
128 psql -u bacula bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
130 ################ BCONSOLE NOTES ################################
132 You must use bconsole without conio/readline support. For that, use
135 ################ BACULA LOG ####################################
137 To use Bweb log engine, you must apply this little patch and have the
138 new Log table in your database.
140 After, you can fill your database with :
142 tail -f /tmp/log.sql | bacula -u bacula bacula
