Re: [BackupPC-users] Per host host.pl not found on new CentOS 6.3 install
Thanks for the support guys. You're right, once I edited the per host config the directory and files showed up. I was having a weird issue where it's passing a -N flag in the smbclient backup command string which denotes anonymous access even though I supplied a password. I removed it and can now backup the Server 2003 client I've been testing with. Hopefully will be able to start using it for a customer this week. Thanks again for the great assistance! Daniel J.

Create the directory /etc/BackupPC/pc. owner backuppc:backuppc. Copy the per-host file into it, owner backuppc:backuppc, and away you go. Or you could go with Les's way and configure the web interface, which you'll probably want to do anyway. Thank's Les ;-) Tony Ok BackupPC seemed to find the per-host config file, just didn't do any backup. But that could be another problem ;-( It created the directory /var/lib/BackupPB/pc/host. So I assume that meant it found the config file and attempted a backup which failed. Just an empty LOG file and a LOCK file in the directory. Tony - -- --- Got visibility?

OK, I didn't recall having any trouble with the RPM and the web
interface so I went through the motions on a clean machine and this is
all it takes:
#yum install backuppc
edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf
change allow from 127.0.0.1 to allow from All
Follow the directions at the top of the file and:
htpasswd -c /etc/BackupPC/apache.users yourusername
edit /etc/BackupPC/configure.pl
change $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = ''; to $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'yourusername';
#service backuppc restart
#service httpd restart
Log into http://server_IP/backuppc with a browser
Click edit hosts, add one, save.
Click host summary, click new host
Click edit config (upper one, in host section)
make the changes you want.
When you save, the /etc/BackupPC/pc directory is added with the per host config.
