I had a similar problem when I upgraded to 4.4.0 just over a year ago
using Johan's script - you don't say how you upgraded. Referring back to
my posts back then (end Dec 2020) here is the summary of what I did to
regain the web interface, and address some other config issues that I
had. Maybe you have them too but they are currently not apparent. I'm
using Ubuntu 18.0.x LTS.
"I've got it working. In case useful for others upgrading from 3.x.x.
to 4.4.0 on Ubuntu, here are the things I needed to do. (I got to the
solution in a roundabout way, so hopefully I have remembered it correctly.)
* The original upgrade was using the "Installing BackupPC 4 from
tarball or git on Ubuntu" approach on the github backuppc wiki. One
of the things the script does is create a /etc/BackupPC/ folder
alongside /etc/backuppc/. Basically I then needed to reconfigure
/etc/BackupPC/ with the old /etc/backuppc/ v3 configuration details
and bring it all up to the v4 standard. More on this below.
* Initially I couldn't log into to the web interface. Resetting using
sudo htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc didn't work. The
correct command is
sudo htpasswd /etc/BackupPC/BackupPC.users backuppc
* /etc/BackupPC/config.pl - I manually went through this file
alongside /etc/backuppc/config.pl and updated
/etc/BackupPC/config.pl with all my global settings, such as mail
settings, number of backups to keep etc. Also making sure to set
$Conf{PoolV3Enabled} to 1. Of course, v4 has extra settings and has
also dropped some from v3 so this was a bit painstaking.
* I copied all the hosts.pl files over from /etc/backuppc/ to
/etc/BackupPC/pc/ (and hence avoiding the use of a symlink that used
to be needed for /etc/backuppc/pc/)
* And reboot. CGI interface looks good - shows the v3 pools and I
can access old files, and new backups have started working.
This is all fairly self apparent with 20:20 hindsight but took me a
while to work out. I don't think my 3.3.2 install was non-standard so,
along with Johan's very useful script, it may save others some time to
upgrade."

Hi,
I upgraded to 4.4.0, now I have no access to the web interface anymore.
The browser tells with: http://192.168.100.11/backuppc/

I set the web frontend password again with:
htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc
and tried to reconfigure:
dpkg-reconfigure backuppc
but no changes.
backuppc log shows no errors
Any idea?
Thanks
