I recently decided to upgrade my long running BackupPC system (personal
home instance). Since it's for personal use, I decided to give
the BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3 a go.  I installed on a CentOS 7 system.

My initial install went fine. I added four hosts and made several backups
over the past several days. Today I restarted the sever to move some
cabling around and now the BackupPC daemon wont start.

I ran /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC manually and got no output and no
errors, but the program just exited ( I expected it to run in the
foreground without the -d option). I tried again several times, both with
and without the -d option. No output, just exits and I can't find any
instance of the BackupPC daemon running.

I tried running BackupPC as root and received the expected "Wrong user"
message.

I added the -w flag after #!/usr/bin/perl in the BackupPC command file,
hoping to get some help, but nothing stands out to me:

[backuppc@backuppc ~]$ /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
