Travis,
Here's some of what I did. One main thing was I set the directories pertaining
to BackupPC to be owned by BackupPC.
chown backuppc:users -R *
drwxr-xr-x 6 backuppc users 4096 Oct 5 15:07 BackupPC
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# ls -l /etc | grep Back
drwxrwxrwx 3 apache apache 4096 Oct 5 22:10 BackupPC
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# ls -l /etc/BackupPC/
total 252
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc users 75628 Oct 5 22:10 config.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc apache 75675 Oct 5 17:55 config.pl.old
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 75899 Oct 5 19:07 config.pl,v
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc apache 2232 Oct 5 17:58 hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 2209 Oct 5 15:09 hosts.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc apache 0 Oct 5 17:55 LOCK
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Oct 5 19:59 pc
Here I watch the backuppc log to see what errors arise:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] BackupPC]# pwd
/var/log/BackupPC
[EMAIL PROTECTED] BackupPC]# tail -f LOG
Here I watch the htpd log in another terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd]# pwd
/var/log/httpd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd]# tail -f error_log
And here is my cgi-bin directory:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# ls -la
total 32
drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 4096 Oct 5 15:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 apache root 4096 Oct 5 12:55 ..
-r-sr-xr-x 1 backuppc users 3986 Oct 5 15:09 BackupPC_Admin
-r-xr-xr-- 1 apache apache 3986 Oct 5 15:11 BackupPC_Admin2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 393 Oct 5 14:24 .htaccess
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 307 Oct 5 14:15 printenv.pl
-rwsr-xr-x 1 backuppc users 74 Oct 5 15:31 whoami.pl
Here's the .htaccess
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# cat .htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName UserExists
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd-allusers
Satisfy All
# Require file-owner
require valid-user
# AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/group # <--- change path as needed
# AuthUserFile /etc/http/conf/passwd # <--- change path as needed
# AuthType basic
# AuthName "access"
# require valid-user
And
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# cat /etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd-allusers
backuppc:OhiHgkkxr4kwI
apache:VWEB1NdbJ5oVg
(I don't think apache needs to be in there)
Here is the Perl script "printenv.pl" as in the backuppc docs:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# cat printenv.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
##
## printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment
##
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
$val = $ENV{$var};
$val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
$val =~ s|"|\\"|g;
print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# cat whoami.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf("My userid is $> (%s)\n", (getpwuid($>))[0]);
Hope these helps. Now I play with the wonderful world of rsync. :-)
