Re: [BackupPC-users] web interface problems in 3.0.0
That script isn't intended to be tested through a web interface, it is just a script to be run to see if your perl supports suid functions. Just run it at the command line.

[BackupPC-users] web interface problems in 3.0.0
Hi. I posted this in other thread but I got no answer, so if someone could help me I'll appreciate it. I've upgraded from 2.1.1 to 3.0.0 in a debian sarge, and some problems arise..

Then some errors appeared when backing up hosts, and the web interface edit configuration does not work, either manual incr/full backup button! When I press them I get back to home page. I thought it has something to do with mod_perl, it didnt appeared with apache -l command. so I installed it with apt-get install libapache-mod-perl, but it still didnt show mod_perl so I gave up on that. also I putted in httpd.conf the config like in the docs- http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/backuppc/BackupPC-3.0.0.html#step_9__cgi_interface now what is really strange is that I have a lot of folders with special characters with accents and other portuguese language symbols, but I managed to put it working correcly in the last version, but now only the folders tar appear right, in the files some are missing, those are filenames with special characters. here is what I'm talking about: http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=backuppcnamesyb0.png the host is an NT4 server... - Take Surveys.

Re: [BackupPC-users] web interface problems in 3.0.0
Another thing I had forgotten to mention was that I ended up with two BackupPC_Admin scripts, one from the .deb package, and another from the 3.0.0 tarball. The permissions you have one the one below seem a little strange to me, because everyone can execute it, and be stickied as backuppc. That may be something you elected to do, but if it wasn't, then maybe you're working with the wrong script? And you're entirely correct about the ownership of the /etc/BackupPC files. Mine looks like this: mailbox:/home/jim# ls -al /etc/BackupPC/ total 108 drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc www-data 4096 2007-02-20 11:23 . drwxr-xr-x 67 root root 4096 2007-02-19 12:00 .. -rw-r- 1 backuppc www-data 556 2007-02-14 19:02 apache.conf -rw-r- 1 backuppc www-data 77434 2007-02-17 17:11 config.pl -rw-r- 1 backuppc www-data 2292 2007-02-13 23:21 hosts -rw-r- 1 root www-data23 2007-02-20 11:23 htpasswd -rw-r- 1 root www-data43 2007-02-20 11:19 htpasswd.normal drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc www-data 4096 2007-02-20 10:52 pc Obviously if you can select a different location for your password file.

Hi, sticky bits make stuff sticky, not setuid. That's the setuid bit. And, oh wonder, what makes stuff setgroupid is the setgroupid bit. Also not the sticky bit. Don't worry about what sticky means.

Translation of filename charset encodings to/from the client charset is supported by each XferMethod. In 2.x no translation was done. So the file names might or might not render correctly. Some European charsets (with simple accents) worked ok. You have exposed an incompatibility between 3.0.0 displaying backups made in 2.x, since 3.0.0 is assuming the encoding is utf8. I believe restore under 3.0.0 of 2.x backups with non-utf8 filename encodings will work correctly, but I haven't tested that. I'll work on a patch for rending the file names correctly.
