I installed the apache2 and backuppc packages on a Ubuntu 20.04LTS system but can not use the CGI interface. No mater what I try, I invariably get a response:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at ra.home.brnikat.com Port 80 The backuppc sofware seems to be running because backuppc@ra:/usr/share/backuppc/bin$ ./BackupPC_serverMesg status info generates plausible output. It looks as if Apache was not configured properly by the installation procedure. Reading the Backuppc documentation has not proved enlightening. I have created a /etc/backuppc/htpasswd which has passwords set both for my own username (pcl) and for backuppc. The /var/log/access.log file contains lines such as 192.168.1.104 - - [25/Nov/2020:15:23:54 +0000] "GET /backuppc HTTP/1.1" 403 501 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.9) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.4 Firefox/68.9 PaleMoon/28.8.4" with corresponding lines in error.log as [Wed Nov 25 15:23:54.077976 2020] [authz_core:error] [pid 27014] [client 192.168.1.104:35534] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ but I can not find anything wrong with the permissions of /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ or its contents: root@ra:/var/log/apache2# ls -ld /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 25 15:02 /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ root@ra:/var/log/apache2# ls -ls /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ total 0 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Nov 12 2019 image -> ../image 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 12 2019 index.cgi -> ../../../lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi root@ra:/var/log/apache2# ls -Lls /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/ total 20 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 25 15:02 image 16 -rwsr-x--- 1 backuppc www-data 14488 Nov 12 2019 index.cgi Have others seen this behaviour? Does anyone know what might be wrong and would be willing to help me get things working? Thanks, Paul
