Bareos 24 webui problem

[Silvio Schloeffel]

Hi,

After yesterday's upgrade to the latest version, everything seemed to
work as it should.
The nightly backup jobs also ran and no errors occurred.
However, during a quick check via the WebUI, I noticed the following.

All the tabs for the functions work and show me data except for the
Restore tab.

I don't get any error messages (not even in the Apache log) but the page
is completely empty.
Reload, clear cache and restart Apache did not bring any change.

Can anyone reproduce the problem?

Apache access log shows an error 500

192.168.2.1 - - [14/Dec/2024:09:17:39 +0000] "GET /bareos-webui/restore/
HTTP/1.1" 500 - "http://10.234.73.12/bareos-webui/dashboard/"

I can see the module in
/usr/share/bareos-webui/

and the rights are OK.

Hi Silvio,

I reproduced the problem on EL8.
The error message is, in a freshly installed EL8, in
/var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log

Reason is, that we used the function array_key_first, only available in
PHP 7 >= 7.3.0, while EL 8 ships with PHP 7.2.
We will publish a fix soon. Thank you for your report.

Regards,
Jörg

See https://github.com/bareos/bareos/pull/2067 for the one line fix.

Hi Jörg,

thanks for the fast fix. Will have a look on it.
The Bareos ui is the only php related software on this server, so it
should also be possible for us to upgrade to another php version.

Eventually you could make this as a requirement for the future versions.
At the moment RedHat offers this:

[root@storage-serv php-fpm]# dnf module list|grep php
php 7.2 [d][e] common [d], devel, minimal
PHP scripting language



php 7.3 common [d], devel, minimal
PHP scripting language



php 7.4 common [d], devel, minimal
PHP scripting language



php 8.0 common [d], devel, minimal
PHP scripting language



php 8.2 common [d], devel, minimal
PHP scripting language


Best

Silvio
