I'm replacing the very old computer that has run as my local BackupPC server, and want to retain the server's data pool (i.e., all the existing backups).

The old server wrote its data (including its log files) to a network storage appliance via NFS mount. The NFS mount is set up properly--'backupc' user can write to the data pool. I have set up the new machine (Fedora 39, same as the old one) and copied over all the server and host config files, and mounted the NFS filesystem containing the old backups.

Seems like this should be simple...

The new BackupPC server starts up--I can see it in process listing; httpd web server is working as well. I get prompted to log in to the server admin page as expected, then get the following httpd "503" error:

"Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

Can anyone explain this, and suggest a fix? Is there some fingerprint, lock file, or something similar I need to do something with? Obviously, the two systems have differing hostnames and IP addresses. Otherwise, the config files are all the same.

Thanks.
