Re: [BackupPC-users] Had to reinstall

I was able to mount my old hard drive that crashed and take a look at a few things. I guess the first thing of note is that I am using the BackupPC_Admin.cgi script, so I believe that means a basic install.
I am not able to see the correct links down the left hand side but now I am getting the infamous message:

Error: Wrong iuser: my userid is 485, instead of 482(backuppc).

userid 485 is apache. I've tried to understand what's happening but I can't figure it out. The permissions of the BackupPC_Admin.cgi file is as follows:

-rwsr-x--- backuppc apache

As far as I can tell that is correct. Shouldn't that ensure that BackupPC_Admin.cgi gets run as the backuppc user?

I had a hard disc crash which basically messed up my /usr partition. So, I had to basically re-install Linux. This is just a home box but I have had BackupPC running on it for quite a while (years) and to be honest it just worked :) So, I reinstalled Linux and I downloaded the backuppc package. I have gotten to the point whereby I can get the webpage up but a few things are happening different from my previous install.

1). The web interface is not showing any hosts but the overall status does show that my disc 92% full. Best I can tell (remember) I have 2 places for a hosts file. One in /etc/backuppc and the other is where my TOP_DIR is set, which is /var/lib/backuppc. Both have valid host files so I am really at a loss as to why the web interface is not showing any hosts at all.

2). The web interface is not asking for my login/password but that could be because I have not done something...very possible.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.
