Hello all,
I have spent all day trying to get BackupPC's web interface to work,
but have not succeeded. I have completed all of the installation
instructions and I have installed BackupPC 2.1.2pl1 on a CentOS 4.3
machine. However this machine is also running the Plesk 8 control
panel.

Hello Peter,
Hey, It may be too late for this because it looks like
you already got things working using Plesk. Not sure
if you ran across this in your search, but a while
back I wrote some docs for setting up backuppc using
