GUI not seeing completed backups

Post GUI not seeing completed backups 
The backuppc Gui isn’t seeing any of my completed backups. Through the GUI I can start and complete full backups of my workstations. On the host summary page I can even see the light green color on a workstation that just finished it’s backup, but still can’t see the finished backups. They all show up as never backed up when I open them.

It sounds like a permission problem, but both httpd and the backuppc processes are running as user backuppc. The TOPDIR folder has had the command

chown –R backuppc *

run on it, but it’s still doing it (I restarted backuppc and httpd after doing this). It is also not seeing log files through the gui, but going to the folder through the command line I can see the log files and backup sets are there. For example:

[root < at > localhost c49qhc1]# pwd
/backup/pc/c49qhc1
[root < at > localhost c49qhc1]# ls -l
total 928
drwxr-x---. 3 backuppc backuppc   4096 Dec 20 07:43 0
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc    130 Dec 20 07:44 backups
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc    106 Dec 20 07:43 backups.old
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc      0 Dec 18 14:00 LOCK
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc   1908 Dec 20 07:43 LOG.122011
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 926013 Dec 20 07:43 XferLOG.0.z
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc    410 Dec 19 11:01 XferLOG.bad.z.old
[root < at > localhost c49qhc1]#

Doing a “find .” in the cpool directory shows there are files in there, so backups are being done, I just can’t see them. Any tips on how to go about troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. I’m running centos6 and backuppc version 3.2.1

Thanks,
Craig

I think I figured it out, I set selinux to permissive (command is “setenforce permissive” for those of you finding this through google with a similar issue), and they all showed up. I’m looking through selinux options to configure and tighten the security down now.

Thanks,
Craig

BTW: You get similar results when you run the daemon and the frontend on
different hosts. You can see the status, schedule backups but you don't see the
actual backups because for that the cgi needs to access the directories of the
daemon.

At least with the version of bpc that is shipped with debian squeeze.

Have fun,

Arnold

You'd need to NFS-mount the archive directory into the web server in that case.
