Thanks Johan,

I haven't been ignoring this.  I just know I need to not rush things when it comes to configuring Apache.  I will have time this weekend I hope, and will report back afterwards.

regards

George

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

    Hello George,

    The script has now been fixed to work with being started from any
    current directory

    Can you please try again?

    *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. _______________________________________________
