Hi!

It's good to cover basics, I am sure this is basic somewhere....

I do have a symling
/etc/apache2/conf.d/backuppc.conf -> /etc/backuppc/apache.conf

the content of that conf-file is what I posted below.

It's placed there by the installation, not manually by me.

I have restarted apache and even rebooted several times. And I try to access locally (localhost or 127.0.0.1) as well as remotely and then using the server ip. Other web services, such as phpmyadmin, works nicely both locally and remotely, so apache seems to function as such.

I have a hunch that there is something wrong with permissions in the /usr/share/backuppc directory, that is set as target for the alias /backuppc. Currently, permissions are:

$ ls -l /usr/share | grep backuppc
drwxr-xr-x    8 root root   4096 mar 16 10:48 backuppc

$ ls -l /usr/share/backuppc
totalt 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 mar 16 10:48 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 mar 16 10:48 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 mar 16 10:48 conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 jan  9  2013 doc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 mar 16 10:48 image
drwxr-xr-x 4 root     root     4096 mar 16 10:48 lib

I've manually set the permissions for cgi-bin directory to the apache user www-data, but that did not help.

More ideas on what I should check?

Best,

Magnus

Make sure that the apache configuration tells apache what to serve up when you hit that url. In my installation, I have a symlink from /etc/backuppc/apache.conf to a file called backuppc.conf in my /etc/apache2/conf.d directory. I can't remember if the stock install puts that there or not. And then you have to restart apache.

Are you trying to reach the web interface from another computer? The IP address will be different. Not trying to insult you, just covering all the bases.

    Hi!

    I am reinstalling Backuppc on a Ubuntu 13.10 server, but cannot
    get the web interface to run. I have set permissions:

    $ ls -l /var/lib | grep backuppc
    drwxrwxr-x  8 backuppc      backuppc       4096 mar 16 10:48 backuppc

    Then installed:
    $ sudo apt-get install backuppc

    But then the web interface does not run. I get a 404-error when
    trying either localhost/backuppc or 127.0.0.1/backuppc
    <http://127.0.0.1/backuppc>.

    What to check? I have not changed anything in the
    /etc/apache2/backuppc.conf, see below.

    Fil: /etc/apache2/conf.d/backuppc.conf

    Alias /backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/

    <Directory /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/>
            AllowOverride None
            Allow from all

            # Uncomment the line below to ensure that nobody can sniff
    importanti
            # info from network traffic during editing of the BackupPC
    config or
            # when browsing/restoring backups.
            # Requires that you have your webserver set up for SSL
    (https) access.
            #SSLRequireSSL

            Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
            AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
            DirectoryIndex index.cgi

            AuthUserFile /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
            AuthType basic
            AuthName "BackupPC admin"
            require valid-user

    </Directory>



    What to check or change?


    Best,


    Magnus
