Okay, I installed from Github to take advantage of recent fixes, and the upgrade worked fine. The web interface came up straight away, no problems.
If these problems are BECAUSE I used the GitHub version, please advise and I will back it out or wait for resolution. Actually, I did install the released 4.0.0 version after this and it seems to make no difference. I am documenting some things I already fixed here in case others find it useful, but in the end I still do not have it working. However, trying to backup the localhost (previous v3 backup), I received this error: backuppc: getaddrinfo is not a valid Socket macro at /usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm line 1413 It did a delete pass, but when I tell it to do a full backup I get the above error in the log. The strangest thing is, looking in the config, the host is defined as 127.0.0.1, so how can that not be a valid address for Socket::getaddrinfo($host); ? I thought perhaps it was trying to use Socket::GetAddrInfo, which I was able to install after having to install these: File::Path File::Spec Test::More ExtUtils::CBuilder ExtUtils::CChecker But still the same error. For context, it is here in BackupPC:Lib, failing on the Socket::getaddrinfo line. sub getHostAddrInfo { my($bpc, $host) = @_; my($err, @addrs) = Socket::getaddrinfo($host); return undef if ( $err ); return (($addrs[0])->{'family'} == Socket::AF_INET6) ? 6 : 4; } Installed `cpan install Socket` and the line went away from the logs, but it still is not making any backups. I don't know how to be sure all the modules are up-to-date without causing problems. :( Where to look, every log I look at doesn't show anything, it just logs that the backup was requested but it never does anything. :( Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
