Ok, so that is where I am stuck, apache is not asking me for a login.  I 
have my config.pl file from my previous install (located in 
/etc/backuppc) and it does have an admin user define in 
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers}.  I also have a .htaccess file in my 
/var/www/backuppc directory so I am not sure what apache is not asking 
for a login.
