What other format can I try? You need to confirm how apache passes such a user name via the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Use the printenv script included in apache's cgi-bin to see. Second, do you use single or double-quotes in defining $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}? With an embedded backslash you will need to use single quotes. Turns out I needed double quotes :) Alex - Take Surveys.

[BackupPC-users] Installation on Fedora Core 5 login to CGI page trouble.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Installation on Fedora Core 5 login to CGI pagetrouble.
I'll bet you have an Apache password issue. When BackupPC installed it should have set up a username of backuppc and an 8 character long random looking password. Every time I have run install it comes up with a screen that gives you this password. This username and password is stored in a file in the directory, I believe that the file is called htpasswd. This is an Apache web server password. To set the password you need to do an htpasswd command. You will find general instructions on using htpasswd with Apache here: http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth I am sorry I do not remember where the htpasswd file is stored in the directory structure. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Krsnendu dasa Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 9:57 AM To: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [BackupPC-users] Installation on Fedora Core 5 login to CGI pagetrouble.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with Web client 2.1.2
Fabio, Usually, when it complains that Apache can't connect to BackupPC, it's because BackupPC isn't running. You can log in as root, then do 'service backuppc restart' and see what it does. It should shut down first, then start. I expect it to say 'failed' when trying to shut down, because I don't think it's running. Then it should start, and your www will be working. However, if it says 'ok' when shutting down, you've got other problems, like files are in the wrong place, or some user permissions problem (httpd needs to run as a user that can access BackupPC files), etc. You can also check to see if it is running by doing a 'ps ux' and looking at the programs running as your backuppc user.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP
Quickly try making backup an administrator and re-run the smbclient command. If it's a permission thing, this will solve it for sure. (In which case, you'll have to figure out what permission Backup Operators lack... perhaps access for C$ has been restricted or broken. You could try deleting C$ share and rebooting. Or you might find this helpful. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314984) If being an administrator doesn't help, try using the actual administrator user to access C$. If that doesn't work, there's got to be something wrong with the share, especially if other shares work. I'm no SMB guru, though.

Mac writes: I have searched but can't find anything about this (hope I didn't miss it somewhere). I'm getting this error in my logs. Anyone know if this is good, bad, indifferent or if there is a way to fix it? I just installed BackupPC and currently have 3 Debian 3.1 Linux clients backing up to the server. I currently have 1 full and 2 incremental backups of each client. The server is also running Debian 3.1 Linux with BackupPC version 2.1.2pl1. BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling MakeFileLink(/var/lib/backuppc/pc/clientname/2/f%2f/fvar/fwww/fweb8/fweb/fmodules/fuseralbum/flocale/fru/attrib, 0aa64187c550d91c15265a9c7d0b971f, 1) This might mean you are out of hardlinks (use df -i to check) or that /var/lib/backuppc/pc/clientname is on a different filesystem than /var/lib/backuppc/cpool (use: df /var/lib/backuppc/pc/clientname df /var/lib/backuppc/cpool to check).
