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.

Adam

These made sense and I ran your suggestions. The first login attempt and I
received the appropriate login box, entered user name and passwd but still
only five (5) entires in navigation menu. Logoff, close browser tab, start
new tab, enter backuppc ipaddress and just login, no request for user name
or passwd.
Thanks for your suggestions, Adam. These match (in the CentOS way) to what
I was seeing on Ubuntu running v3.3.1. I still think it is a permissions
issue.
I don't think it is a permissions issue (at least not a unix permissions
issue). Check your apache error log to ensure there is nothing there.
I expect the problem is that you haven't told backuppc that your username
is the administrator.
You need to make sure the username you enter matches the backuppc
configuration:
$Conf{BackupPCUser} = 'backuppc';
So for me, I login with username backuppc.

Adam

What is your setting for $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl?
This gives the full menu for me when I log in as a user defined in this
parameter.
example, $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'craig celia';
