Hi,
I provisioned a new backuppc server (built from git tag 4.1.1) on Debian
8. I'm using the systemd unit file for starting the BackupPC daemon.
Problem is the SCGI listener doesn't respond when BackupPC is started via
systemctl. Any thoughts?
Below you will find the failure case via systemd, and details, followed by
a working case where I start the daemon manually. I use curl to validate
if the SCGI listener is responding to requests on localhost.
Relevant config bit:
# grep {SCGIServerPort} /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
$Conf{SCGIServerPort} = 7000;
Startup via systemctl (FAILURE CASE):
# systemctl start backuppc
# ps ax | grep BackupPC
2156 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
2158 ? SN 0:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_Admin_SCGI
2159 ? SN 0:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_Admin_SCGI

2017-04-12 16:04:44 Next wakeup is 2017-04-12 17:00:00

# curl localhost:7000

Manual startup (WORKING CASE):
# install -d -o backuppc -g backup /var/run/BackupPC (normal systemd
service startup creates this directory)
# su - backuppc
$ /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
(in another shell)
# ps ax | grep BackupPC

Returns immediately -- this is the expected behavior. The web interface is
working at this point.
