By default the BackupPC programs use a unix-domain socket to
communicate with the BackupPC server. Perhaps the unix-domain
socket is broken on this system?
You can use a TCP socket instead by setting $Conf{ServerPort} to
an available port number (typically > 1024). You should also
set $Conf{ServerMesgSecret}.
However, the code always tries to connet using the unix domain
socket first, so you need to disable that part of the code. Look
in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm, and in the function ServerConnect(),
replace this code:
#
# First try the unix-domain socket
#
my $sockFile = "$bpc->{LogDir}/BackupPC.sock";
socket(*FH, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) || return "unix socket: $!";
if ( !connect(*FH, sockaddr_un($sockFile)) ) {
with
#
# First try the unix-domain socket
#
my $sockFile = "$bpc->{LogDir}/BackupPC.sock";
#socket(*FH, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) || return "unix socket: $!";
if ( 1 ) {
You will need to restart BackupPC after making these changes.
