Hi Sharuzzaman

I'm mounting with a user with sudo rights, not backuppc and not root itself as on Ubuntu thats disabled by default.

regards

    Recently I had to rebuild a backuppc server I’ve inherited from
    previous admin. Running Ubuntu 14.04 server and Backuppc version
    3.2.1 installed from repositories. The backups are stored on a
    Synology NAS (RS3413XS+ running DSM 4.3) which I’ve mounted using NFS.

    If I mount the NAS (mount <NAS IP>:/volume5/LinuxBackups
    /var/lib/backuppc) I can see the backups on the NAS and can do a
    “touch test.txt” and modify contents so permissions seem ok. And
    the backuppc web GUI is accessible however I get the following error.

    Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server

    This CGI script (/backuppc/index.cgi) is unable to connect to the
    BackupPC server on <Servername> port -1.
    The error was: unix connect: Connection refused.
    Perhaps the BackupPC server is not running or there is a
    configuration error. Please report this to your Sys Admin.

    If I try and unmount the NAS I get error that mount is in use
    (makes sense) but when I try and stop backuppc I get another error

    No process in pidfile '/var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid' found
    running; none killed.

    A ps –eg | grep backuppc shows

    username@servername~$ ps -ef | grep backuppc

    backuppc 1874     1  0 16:26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
    /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d

    backuppc 1877  1386  0 16:27 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
    /usr/share/backuppc/lib/realindex.cgi

    backuppc 1878  1386  0 16:27 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl

    backuppc 1884  1386  0 16:31 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
    /usr/share/backuppc/lib/realindex.cgi

    username 1947  1629  0 16:33 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto
    backuppc

    If I kill all backuppc services then unmount the NAS and restart
    backuppc service and GUI works again as expected.

    I have tried searching the backuppc documentation and googled
    fairly extensively however only hit I turned up with the above
    error was someone using a QNAP NAS on which the firmware had been
    updated. Also seeing several pointers to the Backuppc wiki but
    this does seems to only contain a couple of screenshots.....

    So my question is – what is the correct procedure to mount an
    external NAS to the /var/lib/backuppc directory so that backuppc
    works as expected? Am I missing something obvious here?

    Cheers Kiweegie
