Hi all,
I've not been able to find what what broken on my system, so I've
decided to re-install from scratch, which was really easy.
For those who are interested, these are the steps I've followed on my
Mandriva 2006 system:
1 - Download, extract and patch the sources as described in the doc.
2 - Run configure.pl in batch mode:
# configure.pl --batch \
--cgi-dir /var/www/backuppc \
--data-dir /var/lib/backuppc \
--hostname mandriva \
--html-dir /var/www/backuppc \
--html-dir-url /backuppc \
--install-dir /usr/share/backuppc
3 - Install the startup script
# cp ./init.d/linux-backuppc /etc/init.d/backuppc
# chkconfig --add backuppc
# chkconfig --level 345 backuppc on
# chkconfig --list backuppc
# chmod 744 /etc/init.d/backuppc
4 - Configure Apache
Create the following file:
/etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/backuppc.conf
It reads:
<Directory /var/www/backuppc>
Options ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
Allow from all
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/backuppc.users
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC"
require valid-user
</Directory>
Then create the password file and add at least one user ('admin' for example):
# htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/backuppc.users admin
5 - Adjust file permissions to make the WebGUI work
# cd /var/www/html/
# chown -R root:root backuppc/
# chmod 755 backuppc/
# cd /var/www/html/backuppc/
# chown backuppc:backuppc ./BackupPC_Admin
# chmod 4755 ./BackupPC_Admin
# mv ./BackupPC_Admin index.cgi
6 - Check the main config.pl file, restart 'backuppc' and 'httpd'
daemons and enjoy!
Of course, I may have missed something; just let me know ;-)
