Thanks for the reply, David.
I have thought about switching distro to CentOS. I have seen other mailing posts that mention the use of it and have some experience with CentOS. (Not that I am against Ubuntu or Debian, they are my primary distros . . . no offense, anyone.) I do not have a problem with untarring, etc. My main issue is where to place what. There is an "html-dir" directory that I am not sure where to put it (i.e. /usr/share/backuppc/html or somewhere in Apache2?) And so I cannot get the URL to allow access via the webpage (http://[ip address]/backuppc.)And then the permissions required for backuppc user to access the cgi-bin files? Could I see a copy (sanitized, if you like) of your configure.pl file? Where you chose to place various directories might help me figure out what I am doing wrong. --- _______________________________ Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy 615.885.2846 www.donelsontrophy.com [2] "Everyone deserves an award!!"
