Re: [BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Steve Palm]

Ah, I didn't update to 4.1.1, especially since If found the problem I didn't 
want to change anything until I had it resolved. LOL

I also saw reference to creating a file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/BackupPC.conf 
containing one line:
D /var/run/BackupPC 0775 root backuppc

This supposedly creates the file at a more "system" level before the script 
runs. They suggested doing this instead of having your startup script create 
it, but I don't know which is better.

Thanks for the reply!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Craig Barratt]

Steve,

In 4.1.1 I added this directive to the systemd backuppc.service file:

RuntimeDirectory=BackupPC

which creates the /var/run/BackupPC directory just before it starts
BackupPC.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Steve Palm]

Looked at the code, ${RunDir} is the location, and its s a directory not a file.

Not sure why it couldn't be created, but I did so manually, changed ownership 
to backuppc and it works.

Still don't know why it went wrong...

[BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Steve Palm]

Hello,

I had a hard server crash, seems a RAM module went bad. After diagnosing and 
getting it back up and running, BackupPC will no longer start. I simply get:

systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: Starts and stops the BackupPC server...
runuser[6605]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session opened for user backuppc by 
(uid=0)
backuppc[6604]: Starting BackupPC: 2017-04-12 14:32:20 Can't create 
/var/run/BackupPC... quitting
runuser[6605]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session closed for user backuppc
backuppc[6604]: [FAILED]
systemd[1]: backuppc.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
systemd[1]: Failed to start SYSV: Starts and stops the BackupPC server.
systemd[1]: Unit backuppc.service entered failed state.
systemd[1]: backuppc.service failed.

I am puzzled because I hadn't changed anything configuration-wise, system or 
BackupPC, so I don't know why it won't start all of a sudden.

I can manually (as root) touch /var/run/BackupPC without issue, so I am 
perplexed as to where to look from here.

Any ideas?
