Hi,
Now that I got my BackupPC working, I broke it again trying to secure
it further.
Previously, I was told here that I should not be running Apache web
server as the same user as running BackupPC.
So, I kept Apache running as 'apache' user and switched BackupPC (in
config.pl) to be "backuppc" user. I also switched all the directories
that have to do with BackupPC and previously owned by "apache" user to
being owned by "backuppc" user.
Now, when I try to go through the web browser, the server status page
give me an error:
*************************************************************************************
Error: Wrong user: my userid is 48, instead of 498(backuppc)
This script needs to run as the user specified in $Conf{BackupPCUser},
which is set to backuppc.
This is an installation problem. If you are using mod_perl then it
appears that Apache is not running as user backuppc. If you are not
using mod_perl, then most like setuid is not working properly on
BackupPC_Admin. Check the permissions on
//usr/share/BackupPC/sbin//BackupPC_Admin and look at the
documentation.
*************************************************************************************
>From the error message, it almost sounds like I SHOULD have the user
that runs Apache be the same user that runs BackupPC. Is that true? If
not, then how do I fix this problem?
Currently, the //usr/share/BackupPC/sbin//BackupPC_Admin is owned by
"backuppc" user.
Thanks,
Yaakov.
