Hi Craig,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I checked the premissions on /var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock and they seem
fine:
[r...@backup3 BackupPC]# ls -la | grep BackupPC.sock
srwxr-x--- 1 backuppc backuppc 0 Sep 17 04:01 BackupPC.sock
Apache is running with user backuppc and group apache, so it shouldn't have
any issues reading BackupPC.sock. Now, this leaves me with the option that
apache is looking on the wrong place for the socket file.
How can I check to see where apache is looking for the socket file?
Kind regards,
--Bruno
