Hello George,
Well, since it is not a pristine install I am guessing you will most
likely need to change your Apache config manually.
The BackupPC manual is a good resource for that. For example, you can
check how the previous installation was done; it may be enough just to
add a symlink somewhere. One such would be redirecting /etc/backuppc
from the packaged install to /etc/BackupPC which is the upstream default
used in the script.
Best regards,
Johan

Thanks Johan
That's really helpful. It runs through to completion successfully but
frustratingly I can't seem to access the web interface on
http://backuppc/BackupPC_Admin
I've using the backuppc username and have tried the old password and
tried resetting it with
sudo htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc but without success.
I have tried an apache restart and a reboot but no difference. I get
the impression I'm missing something obvious. Is there anything else
to do to get access to the CGI?
Thanks

*Subject:* [BackupPC-users] Ubuntu upgrade to 4.4.0 not working
Hello, I have been using backuppc as my home backup solution
for years and think it is great, thanks. I'm currently
running Ubuntu 18.04.05 LTS with Backuppc 3.3.1 (as per the
Ubuntu 18.04.05 LTS repository). I would like to upgrade
backuppc to 4.4.0. I have tried the 'easy' approach
described at
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Installing-BackupPC-4-from-tarball-or-git-on-Ubuntu
but when I do this it seems to install the packages ok but
then throws up the error chmod: cannot access
'/root/password': No such file or directory and it stops (or
finishes). Any advice to fix this would be gratefully
received. I've searched the Mailing Lists and haven't come
up with anything similar, sorry if I've missed something
obvious. _______________________________________________
