JLuc, Did you run the init.d script as root? The best way to start a process normally started at boot on Debian or a derivative (such as Ubuntu) is with...
$ sudo invoke-rc.d backuppc start This ensures that it starts in the same environment that it does at boot, and doesn't pick up any oddities from your own environment. In most cases, the package manager (APT) will start a newly-installed process automatically. $ ps -ef |grep BackupPC will show if BackupPC is running: $ ps -ef |grep BackupPC raven 770 590 0 11:05 pts/3 00:00:00 grep BackupPC backuppc 2437 1 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d backuppc 2464 2437 0 Nov09 ? 00:00:52 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_trashClean BackupPC's "config.pl" is not the same as other "configure.pl" scripts... it's not a script you run, but a configuration file that BackupPC loads when it starts. (BackupPC stores configuration and statistic data in Perl scripts that it can just "run" to load.) If you were to run it by hand, nothing would happen, because it just sets a bunch of variables and exits. Assuming BackupPC is running, I suspect the core problem is likely your webserver configuration or access. You said "my computer" so I assume BackupPC is installed on your personal workstation. Try... http://127.0.0.1/backuppc/ If you don't get prompted for a username and login, what happens instead? If you get an error, report the error in detail and that will get us further along. -- Carl D Cravens (ccrav...@excelii.com), Ext 228 (620.327.1228) Lead System Architect ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
