My problems with backuppc are almost completely solved.
I ran through /etc/BackupPC/config.pl one more time and found some
misconfiguration.
Take the time to go through that file and get things set right... Even
if you thought you already set it... double check it...
what really helped the most was pulling out all the comments from the
config file which allowed for a much more sane view of option settings.
For CSS and pretty stuff:
$Conf{CgiImageDir} = '/var/www/html/BackupPC';
$Conf{CgiImageDirURL} = '/BackupPC';
$Conf{CgiCSSFile} = 'BackupPC_stnd.css';
To make sure you can see ALL hosts when logging in as admin:
$Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} = '1';
And probably the most important ones..
$Conf{BackupPCUser} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{TopDir} = '/data/BackupPC';
$Conf{ConfDir} = '/etc/BackupPC';
$Conf{LogDir} = '/var/log/BackupPC';
$Conf{InstallDir} = '/usr/local/BackupPC';
$Conf{CgiDir} = '/var/www/cgi-bin';
I noticed that when I did a re-configure and install of BackupPC to
re-set my config.pl sanity... I noticed I had to manually populate the
TopDir, InstallDir, etc... even though the install showed my directory
structure properly. Anyway... this is beta release so i'm willing to
accept things like that...
So the web interface works well after getting the config options set
properly.
BTW... my OS is CentOS 5.4 + extra repositories to get all the perl
packages put in nicely.
Next?: in all this reconfiguration, linux hosts are working
marvelously... but my windows+rsyncd hosts stopped working... and now
i'm trying DeltaCopy with the same failures... more to come.

Attached to this message is a screenshot of what my web interface looks
like now.
I also have this problem, with backuppc 3.1.0-ubuntu6. The interface was
working fine before, but I just had to reinstall my OS. Now my screenshot looks
similar to yours: although I still have the sidebar at left, the only links in
the server section are Status, Host Summary, Documentation, Wiki, Sourceforge.
The links for Edit config, Edit hosts, etc. are missing.
In the main area for Server Status, I see Currently running jobs and Failures
that need attention, but no General server information and no graphs or
statistics of file space usage.
After my boot hard drive died, I changed from Debian to Ubuntu. I also had to
chown -R backuppc:backuppc /var/lib/backuppc, since the backuppc user's user and
group IDs had changed. So I guess that this is either a problem with
permissions, or a problem in the Ubuntu package. But since index.cgi is suid
backuppc, I don't see why there should be a permission problem.
Nick, are you running Ubuntu by any chance?
Andrew.
