I just downloaded this and got it going. I like it. Pretty easy to get running. I especially like the test.php. More PHP-based apps should do this type of checking. The only hitch on installing is that test.php did not detect my DB.php after I installed it. On FreeBSD, this file goes to /usr/local/share/pear/DB.php. A symlink solved that: ln -s /usr/local/share/pear/DB.php . When running the app, I got this error: [Thu Jun 16 19:10:33 2005] [error] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant hostspec - assumed 'hostspec' in /usr/websites/bacula.unixathome.org/classes.inc on line 44 Putting the constants into quotes helped: $this->dsn['hostspec'] = $conf->get(CONFIG_FILE,"DATABASE","host"); Now I'll describe a problem which I've solved. I'm documenting it so others know: The main page (index.php) is blank. I'm finding that it's dying during this line: $dbSql = new Bweb(); I looked closer, and it's dying during part of the constuctor: $this->link =& $this->connect($this->dsn); I know this because I added a die() call right after the above. It never gets executed. Dumping the variables, I get: dsn[hostspec]=localhost dsn[username]=bacula dsn[password]= dsn[database]=bacula dsn[phptype]=pgsql >From bacula-dir.conf, in the Catalog resource, I have: dbname = bacula; user = bacula; password = "" So I'm not sure why this is dying. Solution: Don't symlink. Add something like this to php.ini: include_path = "/usr/local/share/pear" And remember to restart Apache. When looking at /external_packages/phplot/examples/test_setup.php, I noticed this: "Use this form to test many different options of PHPlot. You can test every graph type supported for any of four different data types. You can tweak as you like or you can leave everything as is and press "Submit" for" But I don't have a form... or a submit button. I wonder if something is missed in the configuration. NOTE: from the /test.php page, everything looks good. No problems. I had to create templates_c and chown it to www (which is what Apache runs as on my box). This I started getting these errors: Jun 16 19:50:52 polo postgres[38380]: [11-1] ERROR: function unix_timestamp(timestamp without time zone) does not exist I'll work on converting the SQL to something that can work with PostgreSQL. cheers thanks -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
