Craig, How can I restore certain files from a previous backup if the web interface is not working.
By the way, I see the actual webpage with the links on the left, etc. Looking at the LOG file the message: Can't find host linuxpc via netbios is no longer a problem, but I can see that some incrementals have been removed, so I'd say that my host name is being recognised so maybe it's like you say, the web page is not authenticating. I did notice that Mandriva put this file under /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d backuppc.conf Alias /backuppc /var/www/backuppc <Directory /var/www/backuppc> Options ExecCGI DirectoryIndex index.cgi Allow from all </Directory> Again, any help would be much appreciated. ________________________________________ Dave Williams > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: [BackupPC-users] Config for Mandriva 2007 - Urgent Help > From: "Craig Barratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, November 24, 2006 5:06 pm > To: "David Williams (DTW Consulting)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > It sounds like your apache authentication is not setup properly.
