Hi,

I cannot restore data with bareos-webui since I have upgraded to the Version >= 22.0.0 . After choosing any client in the restore mask it takes long and then it shows the following error:

Error: API 2 not available on director. Please upgrade to version 15.2.2 or greater and/or compile with jansson support.

The /var/log/apache2/error.log file of apache shows on Ubuntu 22.04 the following errors:

The command ".bvfs_update" does not solve the problem because it takes long and it does not finish after many days.

Is there a solution for this? I have the most recent Version 22.0.3~pre29.b63b6ea0 now.

If all your package are on the same version, .api2 should work on your director.

If you don't let .bvfs_update updating the cache you won't be able to see restore tree.

Then if you don't have a fresh cache the webui start to run bvfs_update for the jobids selected, if too long php run limit will certainly occurs.

If bvfs_update take long time to finish I would check if you have tuned your postgresql instance according to your needs. I really hope you don't have setup it with their default 131MB of shared buffer.

On very big jobs, postgresql needs also very large temporary space to finish that job.

Hi Bruno,

thank you for your response and suggestion.

All my bareos package is on the same version. I am still "playing" with the parameters in the postgresql.conf file but without success. My last setting for shared_buffers is set to 10 GB. The size of the catalog is approximately 100GB. I am waiting two hours now again. I am afraiding of the command ".bvfs_update" will not finish again.

I am wondering because it has worked without any trouble with the old version of bareos (<=21.x.x) and postgresql. I hadn't have to change/edit any configuration file.
