Hi David Thanks for the suggestion however that didn't fix my issue. I would have expected the backuppc user to be created as part of the package install in any case.
The problem appears to be one of PEBKAC :( I tried accessing the GUI on another browser and it's fine. My (normally reliable) Firefox install appears to be the culprit not the backuppc installation as I can access in Chromium absolutely fine. Should really have tried that first.... So sorry to trouble everyone with a non-issue however hopefully my admission of stupidity here may help someone else with the same problem from making the same mistake as I did.... thanks one and all, Tom On 07/11/14 02:40, David Kuntadi wrote: > On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 1:31 AM, Tom Fallon <tom.r.fal...@gmail.com> wrote: >> The fact the url responds albeit by downloading the BIN file rather than >> opening the management gui would suggest backuppc is running ok.
