Reviewing changes between the bionic and eoan versions, I notice they've changed the default access:
backuppc (3.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * debian/apache.conf: + Only grant access from localhost by default (as by default HTTPS is not enforced). Mention that in NEWS.Debian. and access permissions on the cgi-bin directory: -rules: install --mode=4750 index.cgi debian/backuppc/usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin +rules: install --mode=755 index.cgi debian/backuppc/usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin This may improve the situation a little, although the problem of the cgi script not getting handled as cgi remains. For security conditions, this would need to adhere to ubuntu's policy on enabling cgi-bin on installation. Updating documentation is a good idea - suggestions would be welcomed. ** Tags added: server-next ** Summary changed: - Web interface fails on ubuntu 18.04 LTS + CGI interface does not work after installation ** Also affects: backuppc (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Also affects: backuppc (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: backuppc (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: backuppc (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: backuppc (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: backuppc (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: High => Medium ** Bug watch added: github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues #276 https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/276 ** Also affects: backuppc via https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/276 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835929 Title: CGI interface does not work after installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backuppc/+bug/1835929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
