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
75 # configure the database
76 bacula:~/bweb$ mysql bacula < script/bweb-mysql.sql
78 bacula:~/bweb$ psql bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
80 # You can start the web server from the bweb directory
81 bacula@localhost:~/bweb$ ./script/starthttp
82 Making configuration template in /home/bacula/bweb/bweb.conf
83 Adjusting bweb.conf path
84 Using bweb on /home/bacula/bweb, use firefox http://localhost:9180
85 2009-07-18 22:23:12: (log.c.75) server started
88 By default, only the loopback interface is binded, you can change that
89 in the bweb/script/httpd.conf file.
91 You will have to configure bweb with your database and bconsole info, it
92 can be done in the web interface.
95 ################ FILE COPY (Full Apache methode) ###############
96 # you must get bweb svn files
97 svn checkout https://bacula.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bacula/trunk/gui/bweb bweb
99 # or get them from the released tar files or from the apt or rpms.
102 # Once you have the gui directory loaded, follow the instructions below
103 # or edit the environment variables in the file install_bweb
104 # then execute it. install_web does everything to the next
108 # first, copy the bweb Perl library into your PERL5 INC path
112 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lib/*.pm /usr/share/perl5
116 # copy the bweb perl program to your cgi location
117 mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
118 install -m 755 -o root -g root bweb/cgi/*.pl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
120 # get a config file, if you want to use an other place edit lib/Bweb.pm
121 mkdir -m 755 /etc/bacula
122 chown root:bacula /etc/bacula
123 echo '$VAR1 = { template_dir => "/usr/share/bweb/tpl" };' > /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
124 chown www-data /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
126 # copy the bweb template file
127 mkdir -p /usr/share/bweb/tpl/en
128 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lang/en/tpl/*.tpl /usr/share/bweb/tpl/en
130 # copy the bweb graphics elements (bweb elements must reside in /bweb)
132 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/html/*.{js,png,css,gif,ico,html} /var/www/bweb
136 WARNING : Your www-data (or wwwrun on SuSE) user must be able to execute bconsole and able
137 to read the bconsole.conf file!
138 You can create an bconsole group for that.
140 ################ USE FRENCH/SPANISH VERSION ####################
142 Simply copy lang/fr/tpl/*.tpl files to .../tpl/fr/*.tpl and choose
143 your language in the configuration panel.
146 ################ APACHE CONFIGURATION ##########################
148 It could be a good idea to protect your bweb installation (optional).
150 Put this in your httpd.conf, and add user with htpasswd
152 Alias /bweb /usr/share/bweb/html
153 <Directory /usr/share/bweb/html>
154 Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
160 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/bweb /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
161 <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb>
162 Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
164 AuthName MyPrivateFile
165 AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htpasswd
170 On SuSE 10.2, the following in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf works.
171 However, it is not secure:
173 Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin/bweb">
175 Options +ExecCGI -Includes
181 ################ CONFIGURATION #################################
183 Note, this is automatically installed by the install_bweb script.
185 /etc/bacula/bweb.conf looks like : (you can edit it inside bweb)
187 'graph_font' => '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf',
189 'config_file' => '/etc/bacula/bweb.conf',
190 'bconsole' => '/usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf',
200 'device' => '/dev/changer',
206 'mtxcmd' => '/usr/sbin/mtx',
212 }, 'Bweb::Autochanger' )
215 'template_dir' => '/usr/share/bweb/tpl',
217 'dbi' => 'DBI:mysql:database=bacula',
221 'email_media' => 'eric@localhost'
225 ################ BRESTORE ######################################
227 If you want to use brestore with bweb, you must associate a mime type
228 text/brestore with your brestore.pl, and you must install brestore.
229 See gui/brestore/README for instructions on installing brestore.pl.
231 ################ POSTGRESQL AND MYSQL5 NOTES ####################
233 If you want to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, you must add
234 a function to the PostgreSQL Bacula database to get Bweb to work.
236 psql -U bacula bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
238 Tips: PL must be enabled in your cluster, you can do this with postgres user
239 postgres:~$ echo 'CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql;' | psql bacula
242 To get database size with mysql5, edit Bweb.pm and change the DB_SIZE macro
244 # with mysql < 5, you have to play with the ugly SHOW command
245 DB_SIZE => " SELECT 0 ",
246 # works only with mysql 5
247 # DB_SIZE => " SELECT sum(DATA_LENGTH) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES ",
249 ################ BCONSOLE NOTES ################################
251 You must use bconsole without conio/readline support. For that, use
252 the bconsole -n option. This is done automatically with the standard
253 configuration file. In addition, please ensure that the binary
254 bconsole file can be executed by your web server. It is normally
255 located in /usr/bin/bconsole (or some such file), and must have
256 modes 755 or it will not be executable by your web server. The
257 normal Bacula installation usually sets mode 750.
259 ################ BACULA LOG ####################################
261 If you want Bweb to be able to show listings of the Job output,
262 you must add a "catalog = all, !skipped, !saved" to your
263 messages resource in bacula-dir.conf and restart your Bacula
264 server. This is shown below:
269 operator = root@localhost = mount
270 console = all, !skipped, !saved
271 append = "/tmp/bacula/var/bacula/working/log" = all, !skipped
273 catalog = all, !skipped, !saved
277 ################ BWEB LIMITATION ###############################
279 To get bweb working, you must follow these rules
280 - Media, Storage and Pool must have [A-Za-z_0-9\.-]+ (no space)
281 - AutoChanger name must be same as Device and Location name in bacula
283 ################ SUDO CONFIGURATION ############################
285 If you use sudo, put this on you /etc/sudoers
287 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer transfer *
288 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer status
289 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer load *
290 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer unload *
292 ################ BFILEVIEW AND BTIME SETUP ###############################
294 Alias /bweb/fv /var/spool/bweb
295 <Directory "/var/spool/bweb">
297 AllowOverride AuthConfig
302 mkdir /var/spool/bweb
303 chmod 700 /var/spool/bweb
304 chown www-data /var/spool/bweb
306 Add (or configure) a writable location to the parameters in bweb.conf
307 'fv_write_path' => '/var/spool/bweb',
309 ###### BFILEVIEW only part
311 You have to remove "<!-- Remove this to activate bfileview" and "-->" from
312 tpl/en/display_job_zoom.tpl.
314 You MUST use brestore.pl -b or bresto.pl action=batch to initialize the database, and
315 you CAN use bfileview.pl mode=batch jobid=xxx where=/ to compute tree size.
317 At this time, it's a good idea to schedule brestore.pl -b after your
321 Name = "BackupCatalog"
323 # This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
324 RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula Pei0ahm9"
325 # This deletes the copy of the catalog
326 RunAfterJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/delete_catalog_backup"
327 RunAfterJob = "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb/bresto.pl action=batch"
330 To upgrade from an old installation, you can use :
331 ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Size int8;
332 ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Files int4;
334 ################ ACCESSING TO BWEB ############################
336 Now, you are able to launch firefox/mozilla and go on
337 http://your-server/bweb
339 ################ SETTING MYSQL ACCOUNT ########################
341 At this time, Bweb needs a write access to :
346 - Media::RecyclePoolId (it will change soon)
348 If your doesn't use Location feature, you can use ReadOnly access
349 for all tables, or setup something like :
351 GRANT SELECT ON bacula.* TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
352 GRANT INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON bacula.Location
353 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
354 GRANT INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON bacula.LocationLog
355 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
357 ################ GET MORE STATISTICS ###########################
359 You keep Jobs informations across retention into a JobHisto table.
360 You have to setup stat_job_table = JobHisto in bweb configuration.
362 CREATE TABLE JobHisto (LIKE Job);
364 And run this on crontab when you want :
366 (SELECT * FROM Job WHERE JobId NOT IN (SELECT JobId FROM JobHisto) );
368 ################ USE USERS AND GROUPS WITH BWEB ##########################
370 It works with postgresql and mysql5 (4 not tested).
371 With mysql, load bweb/script/bweb-mysql.sql into your catalog
372 For postgresql, it will be done with bweb/script/bweb-postgresql.sql (already done)
374 ################ MADE RESTORATION WITH BWEB ####################
376 It will do some basics things on a working bweb/brestore setup.
378 1) Go to http://extjs.com and download their toolkit (last 2.2 release)
380 2) Install files in /bweb/ext web root
382 root@localhost:~# mv ext-2.2 /usr/share/bweb/html/ext
384 3) Make sure that brestore cache tables are in your catalog (bweb-xxx.sql files)
386 4) Enable bresto.pl cgi.
387 edit the bweb/cgi/bresto.pl script and change $bresto_enable=0; to $bresto_enable=1;
388 on the top of the file.
390 5) Use the last Bweb.pm
391 If you are trying bresto in a working bweb/brestore setup, you must make sure that you use
392 the last Bweb.pm SVN version.
394 6) Go on http://you-director/bweb/bresto.html
