    Hi,

    I am following this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc. I am trying to install backuppc on Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. I have tried this command: dpkg-reconfigure backuppc without any result. When I try to access http://host.domain.tld I get 404 not found. It seems to me that apache2 is not configured to use the backuppc directory.

    Any help? Thanks.

    apache2 site

    I think I have to set the apache2 web server by hand :) However the installer does not work.

    The solution

    This package was missing: libapache2-mod-perl2

    Run:
    Then:
    Select "Apache2", "Ok" then if you want to change the password:
    Done!

    re: Ubuntu Server 8.04 Problem

    Hi,
    I downloaded the patch and then restarted backuppc. I still could not get to backuppc through the browser. I restarted backuppc and tried selecting apche2, apache-ssl, apache-perl, and apache from the menu. Nothing ... I then ps -aux to make sure backuppc was running. My browser window returns the error "The requested URL /backuppc/ was not found on this server."

    Looks like I am getting to the server, but not to backuppc.
    Any ideas what I can check?

    Thanks
    P

    By the way I am about a month on Ubuntu Linux. Be gentle.

    Is this still the default Apache configuration, or did you modify it?

    Have you tried
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure backuppc
    ?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick reply.

    It looks like Apache2 is running. Yes I tried dpkg-reconfigure backuppc.
    I have not done anything to Apache2. I wouldn't know what to do. I have only done exactly what the post suggested and I have only installed what the tutorial "www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc" suggested, i.e. "apt-get install backuppc rsync libfile-rsyncp-perl par2 smbfs".

    I can get to my server from Firefox, but not to backuppc.

    Is there something I can check?
    Thanks

    I reread my last post and it is not clear what I meant.

    Apache2 is running on the Ubuntu 8.04 server. I have not tried to configure it.

    Backuppc is running on the server. I did try, dpkg-reconfigure backuppc on the server.

    From a Ubuntu client computer my I can get to the server by using its address. ie http://192.168.2.10.

    I have not modified any config files but I did change my password through, htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc.

    There is no windows or GUI installed on the server. I run it headless.

    What can I check to find out why I cant get the backuppc login in my browser?

    Thanks again for any help you can provide.

    Is there something in there (or in the subfolders) that looks like an Apache configuration?

    I looked in each subdirectory and saw nothing that looked like apache.

    I am guessing that this means I need to configure Apache somehow.

    In my browser window when I try to get to backuppc I get an error with a reference to Apache ...

    Not Found

    The requested URL /backuppc was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at 192.168.2.10 Port 80

    Thanks

    Is there something in /etc/apache2 and its subdirectories that looks as if it belongs to BackupPC?

    I checked in /etc/apache2 and in the subdirectories. There are no backuppc like files or directories.

    /etc/apache2$ ls
    apache2.conf envvars mods-available ports.conf sites-enabled
    conf.d httpd.conf mods-enabled sites-available
