My httpd is running as backuppc:backuppc, so I set:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 backuppc backuppc 3998 Feb 19 10:35 
/var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin

my data_dir for backuppc looks like:

drwxr-x---  2 backuppc backuppc 4096 Mar  4 10:37 cpool
drwxr-x---  3 backuppc backuppc 4096 Mar  4 10:37 pc
drwxr-x---  2 backuppc backuppc 4096 Feb 19 10:35 pool
drwxr-x---  2 backuppc backuppc 4096 Mar  3 16:23 trash

And the /usr/local/BackupPC dir:

drwxr-xr-x   2 backuppc backuppc 4096 Feb 19 10:35 bin
drwxr-xr-x   2 backuppc backuppc 4096 Feb 19 10:35 doc
drwxr-xr-x   4 backuppc backuppc 4096 Feb 19 10:35 lib


But still no joy.

Ideas?

TIA
