This link is where I got my information. Please take a look at it. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27765 It won't change how I handle the error because whether it's a php or libc problem, the error has to be handled in the php script. I can't expect everyone that uses bobs to patch their libc and/or rebuild php. Joe |

I update cvs with the changes I've done so far. 1) There is a new input field on the server definitions for email address. If this is not blank, backup completion messages will be sent to that address. You'll get an error after installing this update until you walk through the server definition and update it, it'll add the email address field to the server definition, even if it's blank. 2) Backup successful or BACKUP FAILED messages will go to bobs.log after each backup. 3) I've only implemented these changes for rsync_ssh and smb backup methods so far. The other methods still need to be done, plus some more error checking and other mods I think I mentioned in my last post. \=/ Cheers, Joe |

My philosophy is to support the lowest. common denominator. In other words, it should work on a standard installation. So I'm going to see if I can simply handle that error in the php script and do some appropriate default action. For example, if it gets that error on an is_dir(), maybe I can just assume it's not a directory. I'll have to take a closer look at the script. Joe |

The PHP-Engine and all add-ons have to be compiled with the Option -D _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 . Without this option the stat member st_size (type off_t) has only 32 Bit. I did not know, if we can compile PHP with this option, because there are more changes needed (or the developers were very strong while using types). The glibc does support it very well. Manfred |

One of the file servers where I work hadn't been getting fully backed up since November and I didn't know about it until I was asked to restore a file. So I spent a couple days last week working on error checking and logging in bobs. Here's the short synopsis, I'll explain more in detail when I'm ready to check into cvs. I put all the commands for the various backups into bash script templates (rFastTemplates) that are created by class_backup.php. Some of the code from class_backup.php was moved to the templates. The templates include return code checking on all the commands (mount, rsync, umount, etc.) and a function to send an optional completion status email, i.e. "BACKUP FAILED for server/share with returncode xx" or "Successful backup of server/share". The "BACKUP FAILED..." and "Successful backup..." are also logged into bobs.log. If you don't want the optional email for each backup, you could still 'grep' the completion messages from the log. The templates make the code much cleaner and will allow easy customization of backups. For example, you can remove the '--verbose' from the rsync, if you want to. I'm planning to include a customized template directory that you can copy the template to and change it there. If a customized template exists, it will be used instead of the standard template. That will allow you to keep your customizations when re-installing or upgrading bobs. It's been working very well the past week. I get a short email after each backup, if it failed I take a look at bobs.log to see why. I've done the smb and rsync-ssh templates, still need to do the others. I'm also looking into some other errors I see in bobs.log, mostly having to do with stat() and is_dir() on very large files failing while building the indexes after the backup has run. It seems it's a libc or glibc problem, but I need to handle the failure properly in the script. This should at least address the first item you mentioned: to log what has been updated and what failed. I'm hoping to put what I've done so far into cvs this week. Not sure when I'll get to finish it, but I hope soon, I think it's an important improvement. |

Hi folks, I checked out current cvs version about two weeks a go. When I did restoring an error occured, when database should be zeroed. Now i figured out that the close method is completely missing in class_db.php. So after the restoring stuff is done, database is not closed anymore and the zero_db method in class_restore.php cannot work properly, 'cause database is still open. Is there are reason why close is missing ? -- omatix.de internet services omatix training & solutions omatix onlineverlag Jochen Metzger j.m...@om...

Hi Joe,
could enhance the class-servers.php method like this:
// ---------------------------------------------------------
function init_new_server($server, $share) {
foreach ($this->server_defs as $name => $value){ // Init remaining
fields
$this->servers["new"]["$name"] = '';
}
// security option, if user inserts "//" strip it
if (substr($server,0,2) == "//")
$server = substr($server,2);
$this->servers["new"]["server"] = $server; // store values
from "Create" input
$this->servers["new"]["share"] = $share;
return;
}
I haven't go access to cvs at present.
Addon is for the case the user inserts "//MyServer" in admin gui
THX

Here's a directory listing from one of my backups that contains users not on the bobs system: drwx------ 2 507 502 4096 Nov 7 15:47 bounce drwx------ 25 507 502 4096 Oct 17 17:51 info drwx------ 2 505 502 4096 Dec 5 05:20 intd drwx------ 25 507 502 4096 Oct 17 17:51 local drwxr-x--- 2 505 502 4096 Oct 17 17:51 lock drwxr-x--- 25 505 502 4096 Oct 17 17:51 mess drwx------ 2 505 502 4096 Dec 5 05:20 pid drwx------ 25 507 502 4096 Oct 17 17:51 remote drwxr-x--- 2 505 502 4096 Dec 5 05:20 todo The only problem is not being able to view/select files to restore through the bobs web interface if the directory is not publicly readable. The restore itself is fine. Joe |

So cmdloop should additionaly back up uids'owners of files, and then make apache the owner.

You can even split the screen with sftp:// or an nfs mount on one side if you want to restore files. It's just the restore interface that's innoperative. Any ideas on how to fix that without breaking security too badly? Joe |

Hi Joe, on SuSE 9.1 and apache2 configure script does not work properly, because script is not guessing for: /srv/www/htdocs which is the html area Should configure script check for that to, or will --with-webdir here be sufficient, what do you think ? -- omatix.de internet services omatix training & solutions omatix onlineverlag Jochen Metzger j.m...@om...

Hi Rene, hi Joe, i wanted to checkout from cvs with ssh, to have a proper version to work on and then maybe (after discussing with you) commit new changes. But I cannot login. (permission denied). Do I have to use the same password as to my sf.net accout or do we use ssh public/private key pair.

OK, that's what i was thinking, but the files which are backed up don't h= ave the right of reading for others. I'm not sure it's a good idea to change = the rights on thoses files. I was hopping there is a way to use cmdloop to pe= rform operations for which apache's rights are not enought. am i wrong ?

Have you got the latest version from cvs? It writes all output to
bobs.log and includes the timestamp. I get the output from cron every
day and I also run this cron command to give me a brief(er) listing:
head -n 1 /var/log/bobs.log; /bin/grep -E ': Starting backup|: wrote
|: total size is ' /var/log/bobs.log; tail -n 1 /var/log/bobs.log
It's helpful, but I was thinking of adding real error checking to the
backup scripts to say things like "successful backup of <server/share>"
or "backup failed for <server/share>", with optional email notification.
But I won't be getting to it anytime soon.
To know if bobs is not running would require a 2nd cron job to check
something, like the timestamp you write. I'm thinking that's what you
have in mind. That's not a bad idea for monitoring your customers system.
Joe

Yes, backups should be readable by bobs, else you will not be able to view it by bobs, I assume. Cheers Jochen Metzger |

Hi Rene, Hi Joe, i am inplementing for a customer and I thinking about logging stuff what we talked about a couple of months ago. Mainly I want: 1. Have logging what has be updated and what failed. 2. Be sure that bobs is still running properly as I work with companies and then let things running and maybe get notified when something went wrong. I have a couple of hours of budget to do some stuff and I want to discuss it with you first to then put it in the cvs afterwards. At present I wrote a workaround (quite a quickhack) that writes a timestamp and checks that. (I have to figure out, how I did that and if it makes sense to the main version) Any ideas ?
