I would have done: rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm yum install backuppc And then if I didn't want EPEL enabled all the time, I'd edit /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and set enabled=0 - but I have never had problems from leaving it enabled during updates when it was the only 3rd party addition. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

Re: [BackupPC-users] cannot log in web browser - BackupPC CentOS 6.2 minimal
Hi Fellows Backuppers! Finally, my backuppc in CentOS 6.2 is working! I just want to comment what I did in case someone had, have or will have the same problem. After installing CentOS minimal 6.2 and disable SeLinux and the IpTables (just in case). So what I did was: wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/beta/6/i386/perl-File-RsyncP-0.68-6.el6.i686.rpm yum -y localinstall perl-File-RsyncP-0.68-6.el6.i686.rpm yum install perl-Net-FTP-AutoReconnect.noarch yum install perl-Net-FTP-RetrHandle.noarch wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/beta/6/i386/BackupPC-3.1.0-13.el6.noarch.rpm yum -y localinstall BackupPC-3.1.0-13.el6.noarch.rpm yum install sudo.i686 After that, I follow the indications in CentOS.org about backuppc http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC but with the differences that instead of: htpasswd -c /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/htpasswd your_user you have to do : htpasswd -c /etc/BackupPC/apache.users yourusername You can find this at /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf Then just follow what is writen in CentOS How To link.

I think it depends on the security context of the process when you create the apache.users file. For example, if you run ssh-copy-id from a pre 6.x system to update your authorized_keys file on a 6.x system, the file is created with the wrong context and sshd will not be able to read it.

I'm not sure what the differences are between Fedora and RHEL as far as SELinux, but I know I didn't have to do anything in order to get the BackuPC web interface working. I have apache.users in /etc/BackupPC. In /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf I have: # BackupPC requires valid authentication in order for the web interface to # function properly.

Re: [BackupPC-users] cannot log in web browser - BackupPC CentOS 6.2 minimal
I have to admit, the first change I make on BackupPC systems is to set SELinux to Permissive. Too many issues without doing that. It's on my list to overcome that, but not a real high priority, sadly. Timothy J. Massey Out of the Box Solutions Inc.

If you have SElinux enabled, it is probably blocking access to your newly created htpasswd file even though normal permissions would permit it. I'm not an expert on SElinux, but 'restorecon -Rv /etc/BackupPC' might fix it (assuming an EPEL package, and if you followed the directions in /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf the file would be named apache.users). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

[BackupPC-users] cannot log in web browser - BackupPC CentOS 6.2 minimal
Hello again... Now with BackupPC in CentOS minimal 6.2 installation (just reinstalled) I cannot log in the web browser of the backuppc. Looks like the user or password are not correct. In order to accomplish that I made a htpasswd -cp so I am able to read the htpasswd file (not encrypted). I am sure that the user and password I use are the correct one. Any clue?
