+################ INSTALL PERL LIBRARY ##########################
+
+ - perl modules
+ - DBI (with mysql or postgresql support DBD::Pg and DBD::mysql)
+ (SQLite is not supported)
+ - GD::Graph
+ - GD
+ - HTML::Template
+ - CGI
+ - Expect
+ - Time::ParseDate
+ - Date::Calc
+
+ You can install perl modules with CPAN
+ perl -e shell -MCPAN
+ > install Expect
+
+ Or use your distribution
+ apt-get install libgd-graph-perl libhtml-template-perl libexpect-perl \
+ libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbi-perl \
+ libdate-calc-perl libtime-modules-perl
+
+ Note: the best way to test if you have all the dependencies
+ fullfilled for Perl is to:
+
+ cd bweb/lib
+ ../cgi/bweb.pl
+
+ you might also want to try:
+
+ ../cgi/bgraph.pl
+
+ To make sure the graphing modules are loaded. However, running it
+ will spray binary graphics data on your terminal. Otherwise, you will
+ get an error.
+
+ That should show you if any of the pre-requisites are missing.
+ On SuSE 10.2, I was able to load all the appropriate modules via rpms,
+ with the exception of Expect and Time::ParseDate, which I loaded manually
+ using perl.
+
+ If you experience problems, always consult the Apache error_log
+ file.
+
+
+################# USE LIGHTTPD WITH BWEB #######################
+
+In this example, bweb files are in /home/bacula/bweb
+You should have installed lighttpd.
+
+bacula:~$ cd bweb
+
+# configure the database
+bacula:~/bweb$ mysql bacula < script/bweb-mysql.sql
+# or
+bacula:~/bweb$ psql bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
+
+# You can start the web server from the bweb directory
+bacula@localhost:~/bweb$ ./script/starthttp
+ Making configuration template in /home/bacula/bweb/bweb.conf
+ Adjusting bweb.conf path
+ Using bweb on /home/bacula/bweb, use firefox http://localhost:9180
+ 2009-07-18 22:23:12: (log.c.75) server started
+
+
+By default, only the loopback interface is binded, you can change that
+in the bweb/script/httpd.conf file.
+
+You will have to configure bweb with your database and bconsole info, it
+can be done in the web interface.
+
+I [Kern] used the following in the Configuration panel. Note: I am
+ using Ubuntu Hardy (8.04):
+DBI: DBI:mysql:database=bacula;host=roxie
+user: bacula
+Password: (nothing -- I have none)
+email_media: my@email.com
+bconsole: /opt/bacula/bin/bconsole -n
+
+Click: Save
+Click: Main -- you should see the charts
+
+
+################ FILE COPY (Full Apache methode) ###############
# you must get bweb svn files
svn checkout https://bacula.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bacula/trunk/gui/bweb bweb
# or
install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lib/*.pm /usr/share/perl5
+
+
# copy the bweb perl program to your cgi location
mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
install -m 755 -o root -g root bweb/cgi/*.pl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
- # get a config file
+ # get a config file, if you want to use an other place edit lib/Bweb.pm
mkdir -m 755 /etc/bacula
chown root:bacula /etc/bacula
echo '$VAR1 = { template_dir => "/usr/share/bweb/tpl" };' > /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
chown www-data /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
# copy the bweb template file
- mkdir -p /usr/share/bweb/tpl
- install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/tpl/*.tpl /usr/share/bweb/tpl
+ mkdir -p /usr/share/bweb/tpl/en
+ install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lang/en/tpl/*.tpl /usr/share/bweb/tpl/en
# copy the bweb graphics elements (bweb elements must reside in /bweb)
mkdir /var/www/bweb
to read the bconsole.conf file!
You can create an bconsole group for that.

-################ BFILEVIEW SETUP ###############################
-
-At this time, bfileview works only with PostgreSQL.
+################ BFILEVIEW AND BTIME SETUP ###############################
Alias /bweb/fv /var/spool/bweb
<Directory "/var/spool/bweb">
chmod 700 /var/spool/bweb
chown www-data /var/spool/bweb
-You have to remove "<!-- Remove this to activate bfileview" and "-->" from
-tpl/display_job_zoom.tpl.
+Add (or configure) a writable location to the parameters in bweb.conf
+ 'fv_write_path' => '/var/spool/bweb',
-You MUST use brestore.pl -b to initialize the database, and
-you CAN use bfileview.pl mode=batch jobid=xxx where=/ to compute tree size.
+###### BFILEVIEW only part
+
+You MUST use brestore.pl -b or bresto.pl action=batch to initialize the
+database, and you CAN use bfileview.pl mode=batch jobid=xxx where=/ to compute
+tree size.
At this time, it's a good idea to schedule brestore.pl -b after your
BackupCatalog job.
Name = "BackupCatalog"
...
# This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
- RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula Pei0ahm9"
+ RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
# This deletes the copy of the catalog
RunAfterJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/delete_catalog_backup"
- RunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/brestore.pl -b"
+ RunAfterJob = "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb/bresto.pl action=batch"
}
To upgrade from an old installation, you can use :
################ GET MORE STATISTICS ###########################
-You keep Jobs informations across retention into a job_old table.
-You have to setup stat_job_table = job_old in bweb configuration.
-
-CREATE TABLE job_old (LIKE Job);
+You keep Jobs informations across retention into a JobHisto table.
+You have to setup stat_job_table = JobHisto in bweb configuration.
-And run this on crontab when you want :
-INSERT INTO job_old
- (SELECT * FROM Job WHERE JobId NOT IN (SELECT JobId FROM job_old) );
+And use Statistics module from Bacula (see documentation and update stats
+command).
-################ USE GROUPS WITH BWEB ##########################
+################ USE USERS AND GROUPS WITH BWEB ##########################
It works with postgresql and mysql5 (4 not tested).
With mysql, load bweb/script/bweb-mysql.sql into your catalog
################ MADE RESTORATION WITH BWEB ####################
-Warning, this function is not for production use at this time !
It will do some basics things on a working bweb/brestore setup.
-1) Go to http://extjs.com and download their toolkit (last 1.X release)
+1) Go to http://extjs.com and download their toolkit (use the 2.2 release)
2) Install files in /bweb/ext web root
example on debian :
- root@localhost:~# mv ext-1.1.1 /usr/share/bweb/html/ext
+ root@localhost:~# mv ext-2.2 /usr/share/bweb/html/ext
-3) Make sure that brestore cache tables are updated with brestore.pl
- bacula@localhost:~$ brestore.pl -b
+3) Make sure that brestore cache tables are in your catalog (bweb-xxx.sql files)
4) Enable bresto.pl cgi.
edit the bweb/cgi/bresto.pl script and change $bresto_enable=0; to $bresto_enable=1;
5) Use the last Bweb.pm
If you are trying bresto in a working bweb/brestore setup, you must make sure that you use
- the last Bweb.pm SVN version.
+ the last Bweb.pm git version.
6) Go on http://you-director/bweb/bresto.html
