5 Bweb works well with 2.0 release or later.
8 2) using lighttpd (quick install)
10 4) initialize your configuration file
11 5) do some sql stuff (for postgresql or mysql 5 users)
12 6) use the -n option on bconsole so that it works with Expect
13 7) get bacula log more useful
15 9) using sudo with autochanger
16 10) using bfileview.pl
18 12) setting mysql read-only account
19 13) get more statistics
20 14) use users and groups with bweb
21 15) setup restoration in bweb
24 ################ INSTALL PERL LIBRARY ##########################
27 - DBI (with mysql or postgresql support DBD::Pg and DBD::mysql)
28 (SQLite is not supported)
37 You can install perl modules with CPAN
41 Or use your distribution
42 apt-get install libgd-graph-perl libhtml-template-perl libexpect-perl \
43 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbi-perl \
44 libdate-calc-perl libtime-modules-perl
46 Note: the best way to test if you have all the dependencies
47 fullfilled for Perl is to:
52 you might also want to try:
56 To make sure the graphing modules are loaded. However, running it
57 will spray binary graphics data on your terminal. Otherwise, you will
60 That should show you if any of the pre-requisites are missing.
61 On SuSE 10.2, I was able to load all the appropriate modules via rpms,
62 with the exception of Expect and Time::ParseDate, which I loaded manually
65 If you experience problems, always consult the Apache error_log
69 ################# USE LIGHTTPD WITH BWEB #######################
71 In this example, bweb files are in /home/bacula/bweb
72 You should have installed lighttpd.
76 # configure the database
77 bacula:~/bweb$ mysql bacula < script/bweb-mysql.sql
79 bacula:~/bweb$ psql bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
81 # You can start the web server from the bweb directory
82 bacula@localhost:~/bweb$ ./script/starthttp
83 Making configuration template in /home/bacula/bweb/bweb.conf
84 Adjusting bweb.conf path
85 Using bweb on /home/bacula/bweb, use firefox http://localhost:9180
86 2009-07-18 22:23:12: (log.c.75) server started
89 By default, only the loopback interface is binded, you can change that
90 in the bweb/script/httpd.conf file.
92 You will have to configure bweb with your database and bconsole info, it
93 can be done in the web interface.
95 I [Kern] used the following in the Configuration panel:
96 DBI: DBI:mysql:database=bacula;host=roxie
98 Password: (nothing -- I have none)
99 email_media: my@email.com
100 bconsole: /opt/bacula/bin/bconsole -n
103 Click: Main -- you should see the charts
106 ################ FILE COPY (Full Apache methode) ###############
107 # you must get bweb svn files
108 svn checkout https://bacula.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bacula/trunk/gui/bweb bweb
110 # or get them from the released tar files or from the apt or rpms.
113 # Once you have the gui directory loaded, follow the instructions below
114 # or edit the environment variables in the file install_bweb
115 # then execute it. install_web does everything to the next
119 # first, copy the bweb Perl library into your PERL5 INC path
123 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lib/*.pm /usr/share/perl5
127 # copy the bweb perl program to your cgi location
128 mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
129 install -m 755 -o root -g root bweb/cgi/*.pl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
131 # get a config file, if you want to use an other place edit lib/Bweb.pm
132 mkdir -m 755 /etc/bacula
133 chown root:bacula /etc/bacula
134 echo '$VAR1 = { template_dir => "/usr/share/bweb/tpl" };' > /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
135 chown www-data /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
137 # copy the bweb template file
138 mkdir -p /usr/share/bweb/tpl/en
139 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lang/en/tpl/*.tpl /usr/share/bweb/tpl/en
141 # copy the bweb graphics elements (bweb elements must reside in /bweb)
143 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/html/*.{js,png,css,gif,ico,html} /var/www/bweb
147 WARNING : Your www-data (or wwwrun on SuSE) user must be able to execute bconsole and able
148 to read the bconsole.conf file!
149 You can create an bconsole group for that.
151 ################ USE FRENCH/SPANISH VERSION ####################
153 Simply copy lang/fr/tpl/*.tpl files to .../tpl/fr/*.tpl and choose
154 your language in the configuration panel.
157 ################ APACHE CONFIGURATION ##########################
159 It could be a good idea to protect your bweb installation (optional).
161 Put this in your httpd.conf, and add user with htpasswd
163 Alias /bweb /usr/share/bweb/html
164 <Directory /usr/share/bweb/html>
165 Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
171 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/bweb /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
172 <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb>
173 Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
175 AuthName MyPrivateFile
176 AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htpasswd
181 On SuSE 10.2, the following in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf works.
182 However, it is not secure:
184 Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin/bweb">
186 Options +ExecCGI -Includes
192 ################ CONFIGURATION #################################
194 Note, this is automatically installed by the install_bweb script.
196 /etc/bacula/bweb.conf looks like : (you can edit it inside bweb)
198 'graph_font' => '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf',
200 'config_file' => '/etc/bacula/bweb.conf',
201 'bconsole' => '/usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf',
211 'device' => '/dev/changer',
217 'mtxcmd' => '/usr/sbin/mtx',
223 }, 'Bweb::Autochanger' )
226 'template_dir' => '/usr/share/bweb/tpl',
228 'dbi' => 'DBI:mysql:database=bacula',
232 'email_media' => 'eric@localhost'
236 ################ BRESTORE ######################################
238 If you want to use brestore with bweb, you must associate a mime type
239 text/brestore with your brestore.pl, and you must install brestore.
240 See gui/brestore/README for instructions on installing brestore.pl.
242 ################ POSTGRESQL AND MYSQL5 NOTES ####################
244 If you want to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, you must add
245 a function to the PostgreSQL Bacula database to get Bweb to work.
247 psql -U bacula bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
249 Tips: PL must be enabled in your cluster, you can do this with postgres user
250 postgres:~$ echo 'CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql;' | psql bacula
253 To get database size with mysql5, edit Bweb.pm and change the DB_SIZE macro
255 # with mysql < 5, you have to play with the ugly SHOW command
256 DB_SIZE => " SELECT 0 ",
257 # works only with mysql 5
258 # DB_SIZE => " SELECT sum(DATA_LENGTH) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES ",
260 ################ BCONSOLE NOTES ################################
262 You must use bconsole without conio/readline support. For that, use
263 the bconsole -n option. This is done automatically with the standard
264 configuration file. In addition, please ensure that the binary
265 bconsole file can be executed by your web server. It is normally
266 located in /usr/bin/bconsole (or some such file), and must have
267 modes 755 or it will not be executable by your web server. The
268 normal Bacula installation usually sets mode 750.
270 ################ BACULA LOG ####################################
272 If you want Bweb to be able to show listings of the Job output,
273 you must add a "catalog = all, !skipped, !saved" to your
274 messages resource in bacula-dir.conf and restart your Bacula
275 server. This is shown below:
280 operator = root@localhost = mount
281 console = all, !skipped, !saved
282 append = "/tmp/bacula/var/bacula/working/log" = all, !skipped
284 catalog = all, !skipped, !saved
288 ################ BWEB LIMITATION ###############################
290 To get bweb working, you must follow these rules
291 - Media, Storage and Pool must have [A-Za-z_0-9\.-]+ (no space)
292 - AutoChanger name must be same as Device and Location name in bacula
294 ################ SUDO CONFIGURATION ############################
296 If you use sudo, put this on you /etc/sudoers
298 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer transfer *
299 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer status
300 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer load *
301 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer unload *
303 ################ BFILEVIEW AND BTIME SETUP ###############################
305 Alias /bweb/fv /var/spool/bweb
306 <Directory "/var/spool/bweb">
308 AllowOverride AuthConfig
313 mkdir /var/spool/bweb
314 chmod 700 /var/spool/bweb
315 chown www-data /var/spool/bweb
317 Add (or configure) a writable location to the parameters in bweb.conf
318 'fv_write_path' => '/var/spool/bweb',
320 ###### BFILEVIEW only part
322 You have to remove "<!-- Remove this to activate bfileview" and "-->" from
323 tpl/en/display_job_zoom.tpl.
325 You MUST use brestore.pl -b or bresto.pl action=batch to initialize the database, and
326 you CAN use bfileview.pl mode=batch jobid=xxx where=/ to compute tree size.
328 At this time, it's a good idea to schedule brestore.pl -b after your
332 Name = "BackupCatalog"
334 # This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
335 RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula Pei0ahm9"
336 # This deletes the copy of the catalog
337 RunAfterJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/delete_catalog_backup"
338 RunAfterJob = "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb/bresto.pl action=batch"
341 To upgrade from an old installation, you can use :
342 ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Size int8;
343 ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Files int4;
345 ################ ACCESSING TO BWEB ############################
347 Now, you are able to launch firefox/mozilla and go on
348 http://your-server/bweb
350 ################ SETTING MYSQL ACCOUNT ########################
352 At this time, Bweb needs a write access to :
357 - Media::RecyclePoolId (it will change soon)
359 If your doesn't use Location feature, you can use ReadOnly access
360 for all tables, or setup something like :
362 GRANT SELECT ON bacula.* TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
363 GRANT INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON bacula.Location
364 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
365 GRANT INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON bacula.LocationLog
366 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
368 ################ GET MORE STATISTICS ###########################
370 You keep Jobs informations across retention into a JobHisto table.
371 You have to setup stat_job_table = JobHisto in bweb configuration.
373 CREATE TABLE JobHisto (LIKE Job);
375 And run this on crontab when you want :
377 (SELECT * FROM Job WHERE JobId NOT IN (SELECT JobId FROM JobHisto) );
379 ################ USE USERS AND GROUPS WITH BWEB ##########################
381 It works with postgresql and mysql5 (4 not tested).
382 With mysql, load bweb/script/bweb-mysql.sql into your catalog
383 For postgresql, it will be done with bweb/script/bweb-postgresql.sql (already done)
385 ################ MADE RESTORATION WITH BWEB ####################
387 It will do some basics things on a working bweb/brestore setup.
389 1) Go to http://extjs.com and download their toolkit (last 2.2 release)
391 2) Install files in /bweb/ext web root
393 root@localhost:~# mv ext-2.2 /usr/share/bweb/html/ext
395 3) Make sure that brestore cache tables are in your catalog (bweb-xxx.sql files)
397 4) Enable bresto.pl cgi.
398 edit the bweb/cgi/bresto.pl script and change $bresto_enable=0; to $bresto_enable=1;
399 on the top of the file.
401 5) Use the last Bweb.pm
402 If you are trying bresto in a working bweb/brestore setup, you must make sure that you use
403 the last Bweb.pm SVN version.
405 6) Go on http://you-director/bweb/bresto.html
