Is anything more than removing the line from /etc/passwd required for this?
as well as:
/var/lib/backuppc /etc/backuppc /var/log/backuppc /usr/share/backuppc
I'm not going to do anything different with the filesystem until I get the default install working first, but I'd really rather not have to re-install the server platform OS itself. . .
is there **anything** else I should do to ensure a "clean" system state before re-installing BackupPC?
Somehow the package installer sees that there **used to be** a config.pl in the (non-existing when it started) /etc/backuppc folder and therefore doesn't install it, nor hosts. Bringing them in from my zip'd archive AND doing the chown/chgroup -R on TOPDIR allows the init start to work, but the web admin interface won't load, even though the backuppc conf is in place under apache's init folder.
Before I wipe the whole drive and start over, is there a relatively recent howto on manual installing on Debian/Ubuntu, or could someone help me manually eliminate *ALL* traces of my previous BPC install so the package-based routines will 100% complete as designed for a virgin system?
In the meantime it's 5:30am here and my two toddlers will be waking me up in an hour or so so I'm grabbing some shuteye. I expect perfect answers to all my questions here when I return!
(just kidding 8-) Thanks for your help so far Les, and in advance to anyone else willing to chime in. . .
