It should not be necessary to run apache as the backuppc user. When I

To Adam,
I checked the apache error_log and found "(13)Permission denied:
[client 192.168.242.29:43348] AH01620: Could not open password file:
/etc/BackupPC/apache.users". Hum-m-m-m??
Perfect, there is your "smoking gun".
So, do the following:
ps aux|grep apache
See what user apache is running as (you also need the group, probably
just get that from the apache config files).
Now do the following commands:
ls -ld /etc/BackupPC
ls -ld /etc/BackupPC/apache.users
Lets assume apache is running with the user apache
Lets assume the /etc/BackupPC directory is owned by backuppc, and is
secured so that it is not world readable (a pretty good idea since it is
likely to contain passwords in the various config files).
Lets assume the /etc/BackupPC/apache.users file is owned by backuppc as
well.
You would need to do the following commands to "fix" it (ie, allow
apache to read the passwd file).
chgrp apache /etc/BackupPC
chmod g+rx /etc/BackupPC (edit config probably won't work, but it should
fix your current problem).
You might also need the following:
chgrp apache /etc/BackupPC/apache.users
chmod g+r /etc/BackupPC/apache.users
The other option is to simply do this:
mv /etc/BackupPC/apache.users /etc/apache2/backuppc.users
chown apache /etc/apache2/backuppc.users
Update the apache config file to point to the new location.
Then, restart apache and you should be fine.
Regards,
Adam
