I hate to be a dipstick but I have now tried installing BackupPC to two different Linux machines and neither work correctly.
Both machines are running Linux - Fedora FC6. With one, I had it do an install using YUM. Since that did not work, I had one install using the version 2.1.3 from http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/. I am a Linux beginner. I installed something wrong and one of these questions will no doubt be viewed as gigantic bonehead question. Here is what happens: Machine 1 - If I go to http://linuxmachine1/backuppc/ I get a web page that says Index of /backuppc Name Last modified Size Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parent Directory - 0000000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 52 0000011.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 55 0001000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 49 0010000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 52 0010001.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 62 0011000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 64 0011001.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 65 1000000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 55 1000100.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 55 1001000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 56 1001100.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 56 1010000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 57 1010001.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 57 1011000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 59 1100000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 66 1100100.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 63 1100101.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 63 1100110.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 63 1100111.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 63 1101000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 69 1101100.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 64 1101101.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 64 1101110.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 64 1101111.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 64 1110000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 67 1110001.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 67 1110100.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 67 1110101.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 67 1110110.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 67 1110111.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 67 1111000.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 70 1111001.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 70 1111100.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 69 1111101.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 69 1111110.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 69 1111111.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 69 BackupPC_stnd.css 28-Jan-2007 21:42 2.6K icon-dir.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 426 icon-file.gif 28-Jan-2007 21:42 395 Machine 2 - If I go to http://linuxmachine2/backuppc/ I get a web page that says The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404 Most likely causes: There might be a typing error in the address. If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date. What you can try: Retype the address. Go back to the previous page. Go to 192.168.0.12 and look for the information you want. More information This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage. Now for the dubugging: On machine1, I did "su -s /bin/bash backuppc" followed by "/var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin" [Mon Feb 5 15:59:08 2007] BackupPC_Admin: Bareword found where operator expected at /var/lib/BackupPC/conf/config.pl line 1613, near "''http" [Mon Feb 5 15:59:08 2007] BackupPC_Admin: (Missing operator before http?) [Mon Feb 5 15:59:08 2007] BackupPC_Admin: Bareword found where operator expected at /var/lib/BackupPC/conf/config.pl line 1613, near "//machine1" [Mon Feb 5 15:59:08 2007] BackupPC_Admin: (Missing operator before machine1?) On machine2, I did "su -s /bin/bash backuppc" followed by "/usr/share/BackupPC/sbin/BackupPC_Admin" and get a bunch of HTML stuff that starts with: Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head> <title>BackupPC Server Status</title> With all that said, without going into any more debugging info, it sounds like I have set up both machines wrong (I was hoping either the manual install or the auto install would work but, no go). Can anyone help to get be back on course?? Thanks! Arch ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
