Thanks for the reply, David.

I have thought about switching distro to CentOS. I have seen other mailing posts that mention the use of it and have some experience with CentOS. (Not that I am against Ubuntu or Debian, they are my primary distros . . . no offense, anyone.)

I do not have a problem with untarring, etc. My main issue is where to place what. There is an "html-dir" directory that I am not sure where to put it (i.e. /usr/share/backuppc/html or somewhere in Apache2?) And so I cannot get the URL to allow access via the webpage (http://[ip address]/backuppc.)And then the permissions required for backuppc user to access the cgi-bin files?

Could I see a copy (sanitized, if you like) of your configure.pl file? Where you chose to place various directories might help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

Bob,

What kind of issue are you running in to? I installed about 6-9 months ago on CentOS 7. I didn't write down any instructions though - I'm terrible about that. I only ran into a couple of issues that I can recall:

1) Dependencies - A few were missing and I had manually install them. I think the BackupPC install script listed the dependencies, and whether I had them installed or not. I would just cancel the installer, add the missing dependencies, and then re-run the installer. A couple of libraries, I couldn't identify the package off the top of my head, but I was able to locate which package had the library from a quick Google search.

2) The installer did not have a good init script for the newest version of CentOS I was using. I found a couple tips on the list serve and then wrote my own init script to start BackupPC on system startup for CentOS. The main issue was the temp file system in /var/run/BackupPC was not being created properly, so BackupPC would not start or wouldn't stay running.

If you can let me know what specific issue your having, I can try and give you a hand.

I know this is a very general request but, I have been trying to install BackupPC4.0.0alpha3.tar,gz on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS.

It is not as simple as "Install essentials, install BackupPC-XS-0.3.0.tar.gz, install rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3.tar.gz, install BackupPC4.0.0alpha3.tar.gz., etc."

I believe I have solved most of my dependencies issues.

Does anyone have any notes to better guide me than the information that I cannot find on the net?
