Web interface freezes with unicode files

urbackup server v1.3.2
ubuntu 12.04 LTS

hi there, i’m having an issue traversing the “Backups” section of the web interface when the folders include files with japanese(unicode) characters in their file names. the web interface locks up. the “Loading…” stays on the screen forever and i cannot load the folder.

many thanks!

Not sure if Martin’s done anything with the web interface that would fix that but you may want to try the latest 1.4 RC versions (http://www.urbackup.org/download.html).

thanks for the reply.

i was thinking of trying out 1.4RC but forgive me for asking is there any guide for upgrading 1.3.2 to 1.4? i went through the site but could not find any guide for upgrading.

If the server’s been used and has backups already you’ll want to double check that you have a backup of the database in the urbackup folder in your backups directory.

I always install from source personally.

If you didn’t compile originally you may need to do the following
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

The sourceforge page is here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/urbackup/files/Server/1.4_RC6/urbackup-server-1.4_RC6.tar.gz/download

Then download the tar file.
wget -O urbackup-server-1.4_RC6.tar.gz http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/urbackup/Server/1.4_RC6/urbackup-server-1.4_RC6.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Furbackup%2Ffiles%2FServer%2F1.4_RC6%2F&ts=1409291131&use_mirror=superb-dca2

After you’ve got the file this should hopefully compile and install everything.

service urbackup stop
tar -xzvf urbackup-server-1.4_RC6.tar.gz
cd urbackup-server-1.4_RC6
make
make install
service urbackup start

many many thanks. i’ll give it a try and report back with the results!

just like to update this unicode issue is fixed with 1.4
thanks again for this great software!
