Either your apache2 isn't running correctly, or you can't reach the host.

Is your host name 'widerule' in DNS? Can you ping it?

Can you get to the apache home page with this url: http://widerule/ ?

I really get an error message, but here is what I get in Opera:

        Error!
        Could not connect to remote server
        
        You tried to access the address http://widerule/backuppc, which
        is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address
        (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading
        the page.
        Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether
        other applications that rely on the same connection are working.

I don't know what to do. I can only assume it's some kind of
configuration error, but I didn't really configure it. I did follow some
example on an ubuntu webpage in hope that the program wasn't putting
information in its right place:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797473

Regardless, messing with the files didn't help. I got backuppc to work
on a different computer, so I really don't know what the issue is on
this other computer.
