Re: [BackupPC-users] GUI error after upgrade
Hi. I've upgraded from 2.1.1 to 3.0.0 like you, and some problems arise.. First it was the error about the language, and resolved it by renaming /etc/backuppc and reinstalling the 3.0.0 version then some errors appeared when backing up hosts, and the web interface edit configuration does not work. I thought it has something to do with mod_perl, it didnt appeared with apache -l command. so I installed it with apt-get install libapache-mod-perl, but it still didnt show mod_perl so I gave up on that. also I putted in httpd.conf the config like in the docs- http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/backuppc/BackupPC-3.0.0.html#step_9__cgi_interface now what is really strange is that I have a lot of folders with special characters with accents and other portuguese language symbols, but I managed to put it working correcly in the last version, but now only the folders tar appear right, in the files some are missing, those are filenames with special characters. here is what I'm talking about: http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=backuppcnamesyb0.png the host is an NT4 server... Jim McNamara escreveu: Hello list! My thanks again go out to Craig for a great piece of software! I have been running BackupPC 2.1.1 on a debian box, installed by the apt-get package system. Tonight I upgraded by compiling 3.0.0, and encountered a good number of problems, largely resulting from Debian modifications. The problems had for the most part been covered on this list previously, and I got through nearly all of them. The problem that remains is some misconfiguration of the webpage or cgi script. I have 3 hosts being backed up, one using tar with a very limited sudo, one with samba, and the 3rd with rsyncd. With all 3 hosts, I can view their previous backups, but clicking on the Start Incr Backup or Start Full Backup will simply return me to the default homepage, the one generated by the BackupPC_Admin file in the cgi-bin. The currently running jobs section of the main page will have nothing in it, and a CLI check will confirm that the backup is not being performed. When I follow the steps in the FAQ, I can su to the backuppc user, and issue the command __INSTALLDIR__/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f hostName, and the backup will be done. The main page still doesn't show anything in process under currently running jobs, but once the CLI backup is complete, the backup files will exist, and the webpage GUI shows them. It seems the config and executable files as well as permissions are all correct, otherwise the CLI backup would fail. I am logging both errors and access to an apache log in addition to backuppc's own logging, but I don't see anything. The data directory, where the individual host XferLog and LOG files are don't get updated at all when I use the webpage to start the backup, but the CLI backup updates all logs in this directory as expected. If any additional info or configs would make this easier to diagnose, please let me know. Thanks, Jim - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

That's fine with me. So long as it is easy for you - I want to minize (or eliminate) any code changes you need to make, so that people can configure the vanilla install in a manner that makes it the same as the package.
