Does /var/lib/backuppc/log/LOG exist? I don't know much about gentoo but the httpd process has to have permission to access the file. One way this might happen is that you have set the setuid bit on the BackupPC_Admin program, made it owned by the backuppc user, and run it as a normal cgi. This also requires that you have the suidperl perl program which may or may not be a separate package to install (in RedHat/Fedora it is called perl-suidperl). -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
