So can I just install the tar file again then, and when it asks me for the Full
path to existing main config.pl []? should I put what you had mentioned?
e.g.
--> Full path to existing main config.pl []?
/configure.pl --batch --cgi-dir /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC --data-dir
/var/lib/backuppc --hostname backuppc --html-dir /var/www/html/BackupPC

Thanks for the quick response.
How do I update the config.pl file, please?
I'm not sure what upgrade instructions you followed, which may have more
specific notes, but the usual course of action when installing from the tarball
is this:
# When upgrading, use this instead: # ./configure.pl --batch --config-path
/etc/BackupPC/config.pl
I note that in one of the popular Ubuntu upgrade scripts, it's commented just
like that, so it may have attempted to install as new. I'm not sure what
happens when that's attempted and a config.pl already exists, but if the above
doesn't work (remove the # at the beginning of the second line, obviously) then
you might want to move your config.pl to a backup and try this:
# When installing, use this ./configure.pl --batch --cgi-dir
/var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC --data-dir /var/lib/backuppc --hostname backuppc
--html-dir /var/www/html/BackupPC
Adjust the paths for your actual paths, of course.
