BackupPC 3.x.x can be installed in two different "flavours": FHS and
legacy (non-FHS). New installations should probably choose FHS (Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard) which would put the configuration files under
$Conf{ConfDir} - normally /etc/BackupPC (above file specifically would then
be in /etc/BackupPC/pc/localhost.pl). The Debian package modifies ConfDir to
/etc/backuppc.
Non-FHS mode takes the first of
TopDir/pc/$host/config.pl
ConfDir/$host.pl
ConfDir/pc/$host.pl
that exists.
Your installation probably has $useFHS set to 1 in sub new in
BackupPC/Lib.pm.

That looks as if the 'action=' parameter were not passed correctly. What
does the link look like? What happens if you go to the server status page
and add '?action=editConfig' to the end of the URL (or
'?action=editConfig&host=localhost' if you want to edit the host config)?

See above. /etc/BackupPC/pc/localhost.pl.
