It's really hard to diagnose the problem considering the information
you are giving...

I suggest you check your Apache logs, the location of which will
depend on which Linux distribution you are using, to determine what
might be going wrong with your authentication.

If you are using Fedora/CentOS/RHEL the logs should be at
/var/log/httpd/access_log and /var/log/httpd/error_log, you might try
to run the "tail -f /var/log/httpd/*_log" command and then try to
login to your server to see what will be logged there while you do
that.

If that still does not help you solve your problem, then please post
back to the list with more information, such as which Linux
distribution and version are you using, which version of BackupPC you
have installed, a snippet of the relevant Apache configuration, a "ls
-l" of the file with the passwords (to check for permission issues),
what you found on the Apache logs, if there is anything weird in
/var/log/messages or any other relevant logs, etc.

HTH,
Filipe
