Tim, I now can at least see the web interface. : ) Chmod -R backuppc:users /etc/BackupPC fixed my problem. Thank you.
However, I have this error " Error: Wrong user: my userid is 81, instead of 1000(backuppc)" after logging. I know this was caused by using /etc/init.d/backuppc start. Is there anyway to run that as backuppc user? Thank you.

Error: Unable to read config.pl orlanguage strings!! 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. :-) Tim --- Travis Wu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have the same issue with my setup as well. > Tried your fix but it didn't work for me. > > Where else should I check?
