Backup Central

Dear Lists,

I just installed the BackupPC and no matter how I installed (eg. put
under Apache's cgi-bin, put under backuppc's bin, shutdown Apache when
installing, etc), the BackupPC_Admin's cgi always show in red color and
I can't access it through web.

My system specs is Fedora Core 2, Kernel 2.6.7, Apache 2.0.49, Mod_perl
1.99. I run BackupPC under Apache's user which is 'www'.

Attached is the screenshot to help to picturize what I mean.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Han Lin

What is the web server error message from /var/log/httpd/error_log?

Red is simply eye candy showing that the cgi script is setuid.

The problem is that BackupPC_Admin is installed in BackupPC's bin
directory, not apache's CGI bin directory. You said you tried
that already, but you should double-check BackupPC_Admin is in
Apache's cgi-bin.

Do other CGI scripts execute correctly? Apache usually installs
a default cgi script called printenv. Does that run?

The FAQ has some other suggestions, but none look relevant to
your problem.

Hi Craig,

Thanks.

Yes, I tried to installed it under cgi-bin directory. But if I set
'chmod u+s BackupPC_Admin' the color is become red, and if I set it to
755, it's green again.

Nevermind, I will try to figure it out and read from FAQ myself.

Thanks for the reply.

Regards,
Han Lin

Apache should log every success or failure, even if it
is a 'file not found' kind of error. What happens on
the screen when you try to access the web page?

This is self explanatory.

You have a syntax error in your BackupPC config file
/home/backuppc/conf/config.pl, line 1251. Look for a
typo (most likely missing or mis-matching quotes etc)
around that line.

Hi Craig,

Congrats to BackupPC new release=2E I used it now=2E:)=20

Anyway, now it works after I changed the permission to 755:-)

Btw, I have a situation that I need to backup my local files to another
machine=2E Method I used is :

1=2E Created local share on Samba to share out whatever I want to back it =
up=2E
2=2E Mount another machine shared directory to local=2E
3=2E Backup from local through smb to mounted remote directories=2E

Is there any way to make it simple? Is it a must to create a local share
even the files is in local?

Thanks,
Han Lin

Btw, I have a situation that I need to backup my local files to another
machine. Method I used is :

1. Created local share on Samba to share out whatever I want to back it up.
2. Mount another machine shared directory to local.
3. Backup from local through smb to mounted remote directories.

Is there any way to make it simple? Is it a must to create a local share
even the files is in local?

You can backup local files directly using tar or rsync
without creating a share.

See http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/localhost.html.

Yes, that's the problem. The error means it can't create a hardlink
in the pool to a new file below the pc directory. That's because
you have symbolic links in those paths. You need to put the entire
PC data directory on a single file system.
