I am trying to get BackupPC installed on Red Hat Enterprise. I
downloaded the latest file from sourceforge

BackupPC-3.2.0beta1.tar.gz

Following the directions in the documents I ran

perl configure.pl

I used all of the default settings. When I was finished I then copied
the linux-backuppc file from the init.d directory to /etc/init.d.

I copied the BackupPC.conf file from the httpd directory of the src to
/etc/httpd/conf.d.

I edited the BackupPC.conf file (in /etc/httpd/conf.d) so the directory
portion points to /usr/local/BackupPC

When I try httpd://localhost/BackupPC

I get challenged for a username and password and this will read the
.htaccess file I created but then I get nothing. I edited the hosts file
in /etc/BackupPC for the two hosts I am starting with also.

This is a umpteenth time I have tried this install. I have asked
previous users I had contact with and they tell me that the BackupPC
should be getting installed in /usr/share/BackupPC and that the programs
live at an sbin directory. This sbin directory never gets created?


Is there another tar ball I need to start with for Red Hat, or some src
files I should be using.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
