Hello George,
I had the same problem after installing backuppc 4.4.0. I could solve it by
changing the content of the file
/etc/apache2/conf-available/backuppc.conf
# Apache 2.4+
<IfModule authz_core_module>
<RequireAll>
# Require local
Require valid-user
</RequireAll>
</IfModule>
Change the line "Require local" to "# Require local*
So I could access backuppc from other machines.
Kind regardsChris----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----

Betreff : Re: [BackupPC-users] No web interface with version 4.4.0
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."
regards George

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/
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.100.11 Port 80
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
