There is the apache configuration for BackupPC without mod_perl:

ServerName backups-xl.arial-concept.com
<Directory "/var/apache2/backuppc">
allow from all
AuthName "Backups Externes Arial Concept"
####SetHandler perl-script
####PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
####PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/backups_users
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes IncludesNOEXEC Indexes
MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
require valid-user
order deny,allow
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Alias /images/ "/var/apache2/backuppc/images/"
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes IncludesNOEXEC Indexes
MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
DocumentRoot /var/apache2/backuppc

The BackuPC_Admin is on /var/apache2/backuppc and it's ONLY DISPLAYED
without mod_perl not run, it's set as:

-rwsrwsrwx 1 www-data www-data 3993 2008-05-24 18:35 BackupPC_Admin

How to set admin user ?

I log as my account who set as user in hosts file (not moreUsers) but I
have not permission to edit config ???

Ok but at this time as I already said BackupPC_Admin don't run even the
ExecCGI is set for the directory, or tell me the RIGHT apache2 config
file to make it running.

Now I will try to use suexec apache2 feature to try to run BpPC ac
backuppc.
