OK, I wiped and re-installed again.
The four empty folders under TOPDIR are all "root root", I chown'd to
backuppc and chgrp'd to www-data and the init start worked fine.
Now I'm just guessing that if I need to reset permissions in the future I
should do the same with -R - is that true for conf and log as well? I
haven't found anything on what these permissions should be and would
appreciate any pointers if the knowledge exists out there. . .
In the past I was running the init start/stop via sudo - would that mess
things up? I was chastised about using sudo when shell'd in as backuppc
before, so I've been mostly working from the sysadmin account created
installing the OS, since backuppc's rights are so restricted. . .
Thanks again for your ongoing help and patience with my learning curve. . .
