I am running an Arch Linux server (5.6.6) for the purpose of backing up several Windows 10 machines on a home local area network. I have installed the package distribution and also Apache with mod_perl support. Backuppc along with Apache are listed as running when I check systemctl status for each. From one of the Windows 10 machines on the network, I am able to access the BackupPC server by typing in the backuppc server address appended with /BackupPC_Admin. However, I seem to only get the actual text of the script rather than the script running. Any guidance on what I am doing wrong. I have followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BackupPC to the letter. Particularly, I have followed the below section regarding single purpose Apache:
Apache configuration BackupPC has a web interface that allows you to easily control it. You can access it using Apache and mod_perl or a C wrapper but other webservers like lighttpd<https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=lighttpd> works too. Install apache<https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=apache> from the official repositories. Edit Apache configuration BackupPC's web UI needs to run as the user backuppc, but Apache normally runs under the user http. There are several ways to fix this. The two demonstrated here are common for single-purpose servers (Apache is only used to serve the BackupPC UI) or for multi-purpose servers (Apache may also server other websites under the regular http user). Setting up Apache for single-purpose use is a bit easier but not as flexible. General settings Edit /etc/backuppc/config.pl. Set administrator name: $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'admin'; Next, we need to add a users file and set the admin password: # htpasswd -c /etc/backuppc/backuppc.users admin The BackupPC-Webfrontend is initially configured so that you can only access it from the localhost. If you want to access it from all machines in your network, you have to edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/backuppc.conf. Edit the line: Require ip 127.0.0.1 to: Require ip 127.0.0.1 192.168.0 where you have to replace 192.168.0 to your corresponding IP-Adresses you want to gain access from. After one of the configuration steps below has also been performed, [re]start the Apache service. Single-purpose Apache settings Install<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install> mod_perl<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mod_perl/>AUR from the official repositories<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories>. Edit the Apache configuration file to load mod_perl, tell Apache to run as user backuppc and to include /etc/httpd/conf/extra/backuppc.conf: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so User backuppc Group backuppc Include conf/extra/backuppc.conf I assume that it is a simple fix but don't quite know where to begin. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks. Akibu
