Hint: have a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.list ... Regards, Holger Excellent explanation! after making a minor changes in config.pl and httpd.conf, dir name, backuppc 3.0.0 finally fully functional! Thanks a lot for the help. After all it wasn't permissions problems or suid stuff. this time I didn't even have to look at this issue. it wen smoothly :) many thanks - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] anyone running version 3.0.0 in DEBIAN with no problems?
I have already talked about this in some posts, some things were solved
other don't...
I have updated from 2.1.1 deb package, to 3.0.0 tar.gz
Why the is no index.cgi in the source cgi-bin dir? I found out that my
index.cgi is the same from the 2.1.1 package...
almost everything is working now except the buttons in webif to start
full/incr backups, and edit config files...
I think now I discovered why. it's not permissions, it is locations...
I have config.pl in /etc/BackupPC/ and per pc config in
/etc/BackupPC/pc/$host.pl
it is the normal setup right?
so why do I see this in EditConfig.pm (line 348):
sub action
{
my $pc_dir = $TopDir/pc;
my($content, $contentHidden, $newConf, $override, $mainConf, $hostConf);
my $errors = {};
my $host = $In{host};
my $menu = $In{menu} || server;
my $hosts_path = $Hosts;
my $config_path = $host eq ? $TopDir/conf/config.pl
: $TopDir/pc/$host/config.pl;
I investigate more and I found that there is a deb package of version 3.0.0.
so I looked inside the various files and compared to mine... also I saw the
diff.gz but i don't know how to read it and it is really big. :o
there is a index.cgi in this .deb package but none in tar.gz...
what should I do now?
I moved my host config files from TopDIr to /etc/backuppc some tima ago,
then I moved to /etc/BackupPC/pc/* will I nedd to move them again?
should I install the unstable .deb package?

There is no index.cgi in the source distribution, that was something added by the Debian packager. The normal location to reach the BackupPC web interface is /cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin. Nils Breunese.
