I am attempting to set up a new BackupPC server. It's an older Dell Dimension computer with 1 GB of memory and a 1 TB hard drive. Right now, I have the latest Ubuntu with BackupPC installed. I can't get the web interface going. Firefox indicates that Apache is set up correctly. However, I can't seem to get the BackupPC web interface to come up. If anyone can help me set this set up, I would appreciate it. At this point, I am willing to pay for it. If you think I should use a different distribution, I am willing to use a different one. Thank you. Chris Baker Have you tried navigating to http://localhost/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin from your browser (as the manual indicates)? You also may find it helpful to navigate to the web root of apache and ensure that the BackupPC_Admin file is located under cgi-bin and with execute permissions. While I understand you do not have a great deal of time to spend on this, you might want to simply look into waiting until you can dedicate more time to this project. Having a single 1TB HDD without a RAID 1 can have a high failure rate, which would cause your entire implementation strategy to fail... So, all I'm saying is take the time to do it right by doing your research before trying to place it into production. ~Ryan -- Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

I didn't have any issues with the web interface other than setting the backuppc password in apache and restarting the service. After that ssh tunneling worked quite well to manage it remotely.

Re: [BackupPC-users] I need help and will compensate
That was one suggestion that I got. I should install 10.04 LTS instead of 11.04. I just did that.

I just tried this under 10.04 LTS and the install process popped up a dialog with a password it had created and listed the command to change it. You'd probably save yourself some trouble if you mount your drive under /var/lib/backuppc before the install so everything lands in the right place from the beginning (assuming that's not the only drive in the box...). And you might consider making the drive a raid with a 'missing' member instead of using it directly. That way you can easily add a mirror later for reliability. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

Yes, if you use the GUI installer it asks for a password (I run Fedora so I tried installing in a Virtual Box instance), however, since for the contract job I was doing it directly from command line / apt-get I didn't get that prompt, although strangely enough it did seem to create a password when I checked out the htpasswd file, so I ended up just changing the password. I wasn't given the option of where the backup volume would be (In this case a RAID 5 volume), so I just used a bind mount so I didn't have to change the default backuppc settings. Since it isn't running SELinux I didn't have to do that but it seemed the path of least resistance.

I did it with 'apt-get install' but was in a terminal window in a remote desktop under NX/freenx (which I highly recommend for any remote access work because it runs over ssh, has good performance, and lets you disconnect, reconnect with everything still running) and the dialog with the password info popped up a new window. It might have worked over plain ssh if you had used the '-Y' option for X forwarding.

Since it isn't running SELinux I didn't have to do that but it seemed the path of least resistance. The rpm/dep packaged installs have already decided where the archive goes (/var/lib/backuppc/) and if you get your partition mounted (or symlinked) there before the install you don't have to move anything later. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

Re: [BackupPC-users] I need help and will compensate
Chris, where are you located? I've done several BackupPC installs for business and home users. Let me know if you'd like my help. Maybe I can give you a couple tips, or maybe I can do it all for you. -Rob On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 11:01:18PM -0500, Chris Baker wrote: It is extremely busy right now at the office.
