I'm installing BackupPC 3.1.0 on a SuSE 10.0 system. After I installed it I copied the init.d/suse-backuppc script from the BackupPC sources directory to /etc/init.d/backuppc and I chmodded it to 755. Now if I start it with "/etc/init.d/backuppc start" I get this error:
server:/usr/local/src/BackupPC-3.1.0/init.d # /etc/init.d/backuppc start Starting backuppc: /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC: Wrong user: my userid is 0, instead of 105 (backuppc) Please su backuppc first BackupPC::Lib->new failed startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC: 2 Why this happens? I checked the init.d script and the parameters seems to be correct. The command that starts BackupPC in the "start)" stanza of the init.d script is "startproc -f -p $LOGDIR/BackupPC.pid -u $USER $BINDIR/$DAEMON -d", which should be correct. If I try to manually execute the command "startproc -f -p /var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.pid -u backuppc /usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d" (please note the "-u backuppc" parameter to start BackupPC as backuppc user) I get the same error, so I don't think the problem is the init.d script. Could you help me, please? Thank you very much!
