My apologies to Richard.
I had sent this email directly to him rather than the list (so everyone
can learn, too.)
My bad, "reply" instead of "reply all".

I have updated to your latest COPR and v4.1.1. Thank you for that.
I have been researching signing into the web gui. Even before I upgraded
to v4.1.1 I was having resistance to signing in with the backuppc user
with the htpasswd I have set up.
I mentioned in a previous email that the backuppc user appears in the
/etc/BackupPC/apache.users file, as it should. But, When I sign into the
[ipaddress]/BackupPC it gives an "Internal Server Error". If I modify
the /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf file and add "Require all granted"
and comment out the "Require valid-user" I can access the gui however, I
cannot do much of anything. Understandable as BackupPC does not "know"
the user I am accessing it with. When I invert this back to the correct
configuration I am NOT presented with a user login but rather the
"Internal Server Error".
What file permissions rights should the /etc/Backup[PC/apache.users file
have?
[root@localhost ~]# ls -alh /etc/BackupPC/
total 192K
drwxr-x---. 2 backuppc backuppc 112 Apr 1 06:55 .
drwxr-xr-x. 80 root root 8.0K Apr 1 07:42 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47 Apr 1 18:14 apache.users
-rw-r--r--. 1 backuppc backuppc 83K Mar 31 13:22 config.pl
-rw-r--r--. 1 backuppc backuppc 83K Mar 31 13:22 config.pl.sample
-rw-r--r--. 1 backuppc backuppc 2.2K Mar 31 13:22 hosts
-rw-r--r--. 1 backuppc backuppc 2.2K Mar 31 13:22 hosts.sample
-rw-r-----. 1 backuppc backuppc 0 Apr 1 17:53 LOCK
Does your /etc/BackupPC/ directory have these rights?
I am not sure I am looking in the correct place but, I think I am
dealing with a permissions issue.
Thoughts?
