Hi, I installed BackupPC 3.3.0 via yum on CentOS 6.5 on a VPS in the standard setup (CGI with setuid BackuPC_admin). The BackupPC-3.3.0-2.el6.x86_64 package drops the BackupPC.conf Apache configuration file (below) in Apache's default server configuration directory. Added the perl-suidperl-5.10.1-136.el6.x86_64 and BackupPC worked right out of the box. Great.
What caused me several hours of fruitless messing around with Apache's config files was the following (IP addresses and host names for illustrative purposes only): The web interface can be accessed via the VPS's IP address: http://192.0.2.1/backuppc But I get the "Premature end of script headers" issue if I use the host name instead of the IP address: http://backuppc.example.com/backuppc This is probably related to the way the BackupPC_Admin program proceeds in terms of perl script calls and hostnames. example.com and backuppc.example.com are configured via VirtualHost directives automatically by the Paralles Plesk Power Panel. This is not strictly a BackupPC question. But maybe someone has a hint for me anyway. In particular to what the BackupPC_Admin binary actually does.
