Thanks for the quick response.
How do I update the config.pl file, please?

I tried to download backuppc-4.1.3 tar file from the backuppc website.
The upgrade went fine, I went through the upgrade steps and no error
was shown, however, the backuppc.server won't start now?
In the GUI, I'm getting.....
ERROR: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO BACKUPPC SERVER This CGI script
(/backuppc/index.cgi) is unable to connect to the BackupPC server on backuppc01
port -1. The error was: unix connect: No such file or directory. Perhaps the
BackupPC server is not running or there is a configuration error. Please report
this to your Sys Admin.
And when I try to run "service backuppc restart", Im getting.....

with error code. See “systemctl status backuppc.service” and “journalctl -xe”
for details.

I followed the upgrade instructions correctly.
And when I go into the GUI....
INTERNAL SERVER ERROR The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the
server administrator at webmaster@localhost to inform them of the time this
error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More
information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at backuppc01.dsdb.int Port 80
Before the upgrade, I was running smbd 4.3.11-Ubuntu and backuppc
3.3.1-2ubuntu3.3
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this, please? This is our only
source of backing up our servers.
I have no working backuppc now…any ideas, please?
If I may draw your attention to these lines from your logs:
Jan 31 09:33:33 backuppc01 backuppc[29425]: BackupPC cannot be started because
important parameters are missing from config.pl. Jan 31 09:33:33 backuppc01
backuppc[29425]: If you just upgraded BackupPC, please update
/etc/backuppc/config.pl.
The settings in config.pl have changed. These will need to be updated before
you will be able to start 4.x.
