@ Les:

I don't really deal with apache (are you talking about apache?), so I
couldn't tell you. I don't know about those files (I assume they are
files) nor how to tell you what they say.

I am using the Debian packaged versions. I did not install apache or
backuppc from sourceforge/source.

@ Dave:

I wouldn't know if it's in the DNS.
Yes, I can ping it in the terminal.
No, I cannot get to the apache home page with that URL.
