Recently I have installed BackupPC2.1.0beta2 (2.1.0 was not out yet, except
the doc
and it took me a while to actually understand everything how it
works and my main problem was getting the CGI interface running.
I'm using APACHE2 on MDK10.0 Official and I didn't want to recompile it to
have perl in it. The sperl thing didn't work so I had to search for an
other solution, which i found in the book LINUX:
Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition (also online on sourceforge
http://rute.sourceforge.net/)
So here it is.
(/ __CGI-dir__/BackupPC_Admin is the location of your CGI-script)
write a small c file BackupPC.c
<code BackupPC.c>
#include <unistd.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
setreuid (geteuid (), geteuid ());
execl ("/__CGI-dir__/BackupPC_Admin", "BackupPC_Admin", 0);
return 0;
}
</code BackupPC.c>
then compile it as root like
root# gcc BackupPC.c -o BackupPC_Admin.cgi -Wall
root# chown __backuppcuser__:__webgroup__ BackupPC_Admin.cgi
root# chmod a-w, o-rx, u+s BackupPC_Admin.cgi
instead of invoking BackupPC_Admin, call BackupPC_Admin.cgi
works like a charm
