Bacula Web interface or GUI Configuration
What is Bacula-web?
Bacula-web is a php based web program that provides you a summarized output of jobs that have already run. It obtains its information from your Bacula catalog database. Aside from a nice graphical display, it provides summaries of your jobs, as well as graphs of job usage. This is a fairly high level Bacula management tool.
Requirements
You must have a web server
You must have PHP installed and working with your web server. We have tested php versions 4.3.4 and 5.0.4. For more information on php, please see: http://www.php.net
The following packages should be installed or configured as part of PHP.
Gettext (optional)
GD 2.x or greater
TrueType (optional)

The dbsize contrib package if you use PostgreSQL
Bacula must also be installed and working, but does not need to be running to use Bacula-web.
Your MySQL or PostgreSQL program must be running.

Installing bacula-web in Debian
Download bacula-gui-1.38.5.tar.gz in your webserver root directory for example /var/www
#wget http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/bacula/bacula-gui-1.38.5.tar.gz
now unpack this file using unp command for this you need to install unp package using the following command
#apt-get install unp
#unp bacula-gui-1.38.5.tar.gz

Now you need to install some of the important packages required for bacula-web using the following commnds
#apt-get install pear php4-pear php4-gd php4-mysql
After installing these things you need to restart your apache webserver using

Now you need to edit the /var/www/bacula-web/configs/bacula.conf file and put your preferences as well as ensuring that the database configuration parameters point to the Bacula database you are using.
Now you need to give the write access to the required config file.
After installing all these we need to enable gd and mysql modules
#vi /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini
extension=mysql.so
extension=gd.so
uncomment these two lines and restart apache server
#/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
