Re: [BackupPC-users] pings to ... have failed 114 consecutive times

[Norman Goldstein]

I managed to resolve the problem, but I don't understand the solution:
In the hosts file, I deselected "dhcp", even though the host is assigned 
an address by my router (although I did give the host a permanent 
192.168.* address in the router).


The reason I tried this is I perl-debugged the BackupPC script into the 
method, QueueOnePC, and because  $Hosts->{$host}{dhcp} is non-zero, the 
backup request was not being queued (line 1885).

Am running BPC 4.3.2 on fedora 32 x86-64.  I am able to run /ping/ 
from the command line as backuppc and as root (and as myself), and 
can successfully do backups from the command line using 
BackupPC_dump, but the GUI interface always puts a backup request to 
be idle, and shows ping requests always failing (which, I assume, is 
what puts the backup request to be idle).


My file system is not near 95% full, and I have full privilege in the 
GUI to edit all the Server and pc-specific config files. There are a 
fair number of posts on the net re "ping" issues with BPC, but I 
haven't been able to resolve this on my machine.  When making a 
manual backup request from the GUI, the only relevant log entry is in 
the Server LOG file:

Make sure your full path to the ping executable is correct in the setup.
