If this is working, you can continue testing your BackupPC configuration. On the backuppc-server I had problems accessing the configuration files from the backuppc-server GUI until I did: # sudo chown backuppc:www-data *.pl You can also try to restart your BackupPC Server with # sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc restart Good Luck :-) - Kurt PS: I'll send you the configuration files from a working client via private mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
