err, no. Not even maybe. You edit BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm and change line 297 ...

-            
ErrorExit(eval("qq{$Lang->{Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server}}"));
+            ErrorExit(eval("qq{$Lang->{Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server}}")
+                      . "<br>Socket: $bpc->{LogDir}/BackupPC.sock<br>"
+                      . "Error was: $err<br>");

(possibly add the same text to $content in line 292). Then you look at the web
page. But I'd be surprised if the result was anything other than
/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock (but the error might be interesting).

[Line numbers are for 3.2.0beta0/3.1.0 and differ for other versions.]

Aside from that, I totally agree on your remark about quoting practises from
August 27th, but I find *your* quoting style confusing, too, because your
replies tend to be more indented than the quotes they refer to. Sure, there's
no (or less) quotation in front, but that's not what catches the eye
(especially when quoted, like above).
[/OT]

Hope that helps.
