Ladies and Gentlemen,
There's been a ton of posts in the last few minutes, so I'll try to respond
to all of those in this reply.
To Adam Goryachev, I don't have any interest in CentOS (and judging by other
posts in this thread, competence with it either). The company I work for got
roped in using it for an individual project, as another vendor brought in to
do the telephony portion of this project will only work on RHEL 4.5 and
luckily (for the bottom line) CentOS 4.7. I've been strictly a Debian user
since Woody, and this whole experience has confirmed to me that my default
choice was correct!
To Les and Nils, first I'm sorry to be disparaging one of your preferred
versions of linux. I installed httpd-suexec somewhere almost immediately
after installing the OS, and it certainly appears to be the proverbial
smoking gun. I tried usung yum just to remove httpd-suexec, and it would
only do that if I also allowed yum to remove httpd! As noting else is
installed yet (the other contractor mentioned previously begins work
tomorrow), I allowed it. That went fine, it pulled out these packages -
mod_perl, php-pear, php-odbc, mod_ssl, system-config-httpd, httpd,
httpd-manual, httpd-suexec, webalizer, php-ldap, php, and mod_python.
I figured all would be well with this. Let it remove everything listed
above, then reinstall httpd, and hopefully the skies will brighten, rainbows
and unicorns will dance around me, and oh yes, backuppc will work!
Unfortunately, yum won't install just httpd without httpd-suexec, as show
here -
[r...@telephony jim]# yum install httpd

Complete!
Yum clean all followed by yum update still tries to install both httpd and
httpd-suexec.
I'm going to google to find a solution to this (clearly isn't backuppc
related), and when I can get a functional httpd, I'll post back. If anyone
has suggestions on how to accomplish this, please email me off list.
Thanks again for everyone's help!
