Ok, I was trying to lead you to the solution but I think things are
getting lost in translation...

If you are going to use the more "Fedora" package you can remove
/var/lib/backuppc and keep /var/lib/BackupPC.

Ok, I'm going to write in all caps here, don't take this as yelling,
but rather me trying to be clear:

THE HTTP AUTHENTICATION FILE DOES NOT GO IN /var/lib/BackupPC/passwd

The proper command is right in front of you:

> # htpasswd -c /etc/BackupPC/apache.users yourusername   <----- HERE
