Andrew, Arno, thanks for your replies. (Side issue: is top-posting normal 
procedure here?)

Top-posting is so common here that I got used to it and sometimes are ... reminded to avoid it on other mailing lists :-)

I am still not clear whether my php is correctly installed with gd and gettext. I didn't compile php from source, I think it was installed by default. I am using SuSE 9.1. I'll post a query on the php newsgroup to try to resolve this.

I'm using 9.2 and I see not dificulties using php in apache at all. Command line php works fine, too. Do you see any errors?

By the way, including ini_set("error_reporting", 0); in the php files resolved the Notices php gives here.

Sidenote:
Although or perhaps because I'm not a programmer I really think that a program should be considered buggy when it reports warnings of any kind. Bacula-web does, unfortunately.

The output is nice enough and gives the details I need to manage pools (and possibly to make sure I've got enough tapes :-)

Another Sidenote:
W3 validator says:
Address:        ...homeip.net/bacula-web/index.php
Encoding:       iso-8859-1      
Doctype:        (detect automatically) HTML 4.01 Transitional
Errors:         470
Validating as 4.01 Strict results in 629 Errors here.

Now, I don't know Smarty and so can't say if this frameworkis broken or if Juan Luis Francés Jiménez never intended to make this perfect, but I don't like those things... one day you use a new browser and only get an empty page or a broken layout. Ok, I stop criticizing now :-)

Please, understand that I don't simply want to talk bad about other peoples projects - rather, I hope that someone will help improving Bacula-web. At the moment, there's not much development taking place, it seems. And, of course and as I have written above - it works, and it looks good.

Arno


Andrew, you mentioned that Bacula-web has "a painful list of dependencies"; any 
chance you list them for me?

Thanks

Graham Dicker


Once more, perhaps somebody's interested:

You can set php's error reporting off (or restrict it to serious errors) and Bacula-web works much better.

Still, I think that collection of script does need some work.

I just signed up at Bacula-web's bugtracker to inform the author.

Hello,

well, I have it installed here and it's working, although not really that great...

Installation was ok, I don't recall what exactly I had to modify, but it was done in a few minutes.

When I load the pages, though, I get loads of Notices: > Notice: Undefined index: Full_popup in /srv/www/htdocs/bacula-web/index.php on line 82 Notice: Undefined variable: TotalElapsed in /srv/www/htdocs/bacula-web/index.php on line 98 Notice: Undefined variable: TotalElapsed in /srv/www/htdocs/bacula-web/ind...

And graphics are not produced, although the test checking for gd went fine and I know I have gd installed and included in php.

The first thing item is, in my opinion, a good example for sloppy programming. The second is harder to understand for me because I don't know the framework Bacula-web uses and didn't spend much time working through it.

And, since I know that others have it working correctly, I think the problem must be somewhere in my installation. Ah, I just looked - the missing images are a result of the notices because php can't set up the headers for an image file after it sent its notices.

I have it working (on Solaris 9 & linux) and it is a really good piece of software.
Its easy to get working on linux, solaris is another matter.
You shouldn't need to do any moves (try a copy next time) since you are just asking to break something else doing that! Also if you get your ./configure options right you shouldn't have a problem.
I did find that bacula-web has a painful lot of dependencies.
But by golly it was well worth the pain!.
I would doubt if anything is wrong with php! however are you sure you have an apache built with php support?

I have built everything from source - php 4, apache 1.3.31, bacula, bacula-web, gd, gettext .... so persevere.

*Subject:* [Bacula-users] Trying to use Bacula-web

   Has anyone had success in getting bacula-web to work? When I try
   test.php it gives me two errors: one for GD and one for gettext. I
   was getting an error for Pear(DB) too but I cured that by copying
   DB.php from /usr/share/php to /srv/www/bacula-web_1.1. I don't know
   if this was a wise move.
In the man entry for php it says to use the following command

to

   show the configuration of your gd extension:
        php -r 'print r(gd info());'
        When I do this it responds:
        Parse error: parse error in Command line code on line 1
so I assume there must be something wrong with php. However when I
   do the command:
        php -m
        both gd and gettext are listed.
        TIA
