I wanted this to go to the list instead of just the original poster.
Every list I'm on seems to deal with from/to/reply-to differently :-(
I also fiddled with this for a while before I got it working. I am using
SuExecUserGroup in a virtual host to set the user id. The cgi must also
be owned by backuppc. No suid/sgid permissions.
Here is the sites-available/backuppc.
WARNING - not an apache expert.
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName backup
DocumentRoot /var/www/BackupPC
Options -Indexes -ExecCGI -FollowSymLinks
Options +Includes +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
SuexecUserGroup backuppc backuppc
<Directory /var/www/BackupPC/>
DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin
AuthType Basic
AuthName "BackupPC Admin"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwd
Require user backuppc
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/BackupPC/doc/>
DirectoryIndex BackupPC.html
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/BackupPC/cgi-bin/>
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
