I am obviously missing something very fundamental..
Changed Password (check) [*sudu su -* was the trick, then could run
commands correctly]
Then the issue.. I went and and changed the TopDir setting and did the mv
command.. Now the server isn't running. I tried to restart, no luck,
tried to mv things back, no luck. I think my misunderstanding is the
filesystem and mounts...
/dev/sda6 : mounted as root filesystem
/dev/sda9 : mounted as /data01
/dev/sda1 : mounted as /home (don't think that matters in this case)
I did NOT try to restart the apache2 service.
Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server
This CGI script (/backuppc/index.cgi) is unable to connect to the BackupPC
server on TAS-Server port -1.
The error was: unix connect: Connection refused.
Perhaps the BackupPC server is not running or there is a configuration
error. Please report this to your Sys Admin.
*This is the error when I restart the service*
travis@TAS-Server:~$ sudo service backuppc restart
[sudo] password for travis:
* Restarting backuppc...
No process in pidfile '/var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid' found running;
none killed.

2013-01-05 09:12:51 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in
/var/lib/backuppc/pc and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool. Either these are
different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or
these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the
file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check
each of these possibilities. Quitting...
So, I think the mv must be the issue and it didn't like something... When
I tried to move it back, I got an error on the log directory.
I have seen the one page about moving and copying, but some parts are not
making sense, I think it must be due to some links.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall it all, as I want to understand how
to do this correctly. Maybe that is easiest and then go from there.
