Hi List, I am trying to set up backuppc on an Ubuntu 8.04 server. I installed backuppc by doing sudo apt-get install backuppc, and allowed it to set up a backuppc user. In the first instance I tried to configure it to backup a test windows client using rsyncd, and put the necessary entry in the hosts file. However, when I tried to start backuppc using sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc start it said it was starting but there was no entry when I ran ps -A and the web interface said "Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server". The logfile contains the following:
Reading hosts file Adding host xx.xx.xx.xx to backup list unix bind() failed: Permission denied I tried to completely reinstall backuppc by running sudo apt-get purge backuppc, reinstalled it, and left it as the default configuration (smb) with the only entry in hosts being localhost, but this gave the same error. Oddly, I think I had it running just fine when I first set it up as I could view the web interface- so it's possible that this problem only started when I began to change config.pl. I have searched for information on this unix bind error, and I assume it is an ubuntu permissions thing but I don't really know where to go from there. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
