Hi, I receive the following error msg in Apache error log when trying to access my BackupPC:
Permission denied: Could not open password file: /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/htpasswd, referer: http://localhost/backuppc/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=editConfig access to /backuppc/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin failed, reason: verification of user id 'admin' not configured, referer: http://localhost/backuppc/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=editConfig I am trying to browse backups transferred from another server with my local server: I copied with rsync -avzH the TopDir from another server to my local BackupPC server on a USB disk (/mnt/usb/backuppc) I did chown -R backuppc.backuppc /mnt/usb/backuppc I then moved my local BackupPC's TopDir from /var/lib/backuppc to /var/lib/backuppc.local And then mounted the new data to TopDir with mount --bind /mnt/usb/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc I copied the passwd/htpasswd dir/file from my old TopDir to this newly mounted TopDir The permissions should be very permissive: drwxrwxrwx 2 backuppc backuppc 4.0K Nov 8 16:05 /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/ -rwxrwxrwx 1 backuppc backuppc 41 Nov 13 00:23 /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/htpasswd Apache is run as the backuppc user, so I am a bit puzzled why it cannot access the htpasswd file? If I remount the old TopDir (backuppc.local), everything works fine the dir/file having these permissions: drwxr-x--- 2 backuppc backuppc 4.0K Nov 8 16:05 /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/ -rw-r----- 1 backuppc backuppc 21 Nov 8 16:18 /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/htpasswd Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
