PLS don't top post.

The problem is: as your file 'config.pl' only has r(read) permission for
the user 'apache', you CAN'T write it as the writing is made using the
HTTP server identity (hence, group 'apache'), NOT by BPC.

umask is also correct, as it'll assign rwxr-w--- permissions to the
files that BPC write (the data backup files, nothing to do w/ the
configuration file.)

Do a: chmod 660 /etc/backuppc/config.pl and that'll do the trick.
