It works!!!!!!!
You're correct, the issue was because of SELinux.
When I had setup this backup server, I had disabled SELinux by doing
"setenforce permissive", but I had forgot to edit /etc/selinux/config and
set it to "disabled" there. So when I rebooted the server for the first time
this week, SELinux was back on enforcing mode.
Now that I've disabled SELinux, I get no errors on the backupPC web
interface. :)
Thank you very much for the help!
Kind regards,
