I might be wrong but, there is something new and different about the httpd configuration in CentOS 7.

Polite as I can . . bump . . . . anybody ? . . . . please.

Having trouble finding instruction regarding how to setup CGI access for Apache on CentOS 7. Most of the instructions I am finding are for older versions. Any of those changes break httpd . . . so I remove that to return to functionality.

With 'Links' installed, I can run the su -u backuppc /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin and the webpage appears on the sverver machine (via ssh) itself. So, the cgi-bin file is functional.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good news!

Got BackupPC 4.0.0 to run!!

I had a permissions issue with /data, my data (storage) directory. When I 'chown' to backuppc user, and ran "sudo -u backuppc /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d" BackupPC started . . . yeah!! (Now I can go look at logfiles.)

Now, I think I have an Apache permissions issue as when I use my browser to access the [ip address]/BackupPC I get nothing but, when I try [ip address]/backuppc I get the directory that contains all the *.gif files and other. This is a (Apache?) permissions issue I have read about somewhere . . . now to find that again.

My linux education continues . . .

As mentioned in a previous email, I had a problem getting backuppc to start or stay running when I first installed it. I found I had to ensure that the temp file location was created in in /var/run/BackupPC before starting the daemon. If backuppc uses a temp file location for your distro, I assume it does, then it will be needed to start the daemon, regardless whether you start it manually or form the init script.

 

You could look and see if you have a directory at /var/run/BackupPC

 

The config.pl parameter below will tell you where this directory should be created:

 

$Conf{RunDir} = '/var/run/BackupPC';

 

If you don't have the correct directory, try creating it (of course customize this to your run dir location from config.pl):

 

$ mkdir -p /var/run/BackupPC

$ chown [backuppc-user]:[backuppc-group] /var/run/BackupPC

 

Then try starting the daemon again.

 

I ended up adding a temp file system check to my init script for backuppc:

 

checkTempFs() {

    if `test -d /var/run/BackupPC`;  then

echo "BackupPC tempfs exisits"

    else

mkdir -p /var/run/BackupPC

chown backuppc:backuppc /var/run/BackupPC

echo "BackupPC tempfs created"

    fi

}

 

 

Then I I added the "checkTempFs()" function to the init script's "start" function:

 

start() {

    # Make sure /var/run/BackupPC tempfs exisits

    checkTempFs   

    echo -n "Starting BackupPC: "

    daemon --user backuppc /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d

    RETVAL=$?

    echo

    [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/backuppc || \

       RETVAL=1

    return $RETVAL

}

(Sorry, David. 'Hit' reply instead of "reply-all". So your getting a duplicate.)

Yes, I am following the steps below.

However the "./configure.sh --prefix option" suggestion to add to the rsync-bpc, I did not do as running "./configure.sh" reports that is has installed in /usr/local/bin by default. Keywords in that suggestion sentence are "default might be . . .".

Also, your config.pl file is very much identical to mine except I have not yet installed samba.

I am having trouble getting backuppc to run manually (have not activated the init.d script, yet.)

I am struggling with file permissions and will not get back to post any specific questions until late this afternoon or tomorrow.

So far the project seems to be progressing well.

Bob,

 

My samba packages on CentOS 7:

 

samba-common-4.1.12-21

samba-libs-4.1.12-21

samba-client-4.1.12-21

 

I just wanted to double check, your following these steps below for your backuppc install correct?

 

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Installation instructions: download and install all three tar balls.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

BackupPC-XS-0.30.tar.gz:

 

  tar zxvf BackupPC-XS-0.30.tar.gz

  cd BackupPC-XS-0.30

  perl Makefile.PL

  make

  make test

  make install

 

rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3.tar.gz:

 

  tar zxvf rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3.tar.gz

  cd rsync-bpc-3.0.9.3

  ./configure.sh

  make

  make install

 

BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3.tar.gz:

 

  tar zxvf BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3.tar.gz

  cd BackupPC-4.0.0alpha3

  ./configure.pl

 

The last step for each will need to be run as a privileged user.

 

If you want to install rsync_bpc in /usr/local/bin (default might be /usr/bin), then you should add the --prefix option to configure.sh:

 

  ./configure.sh --prefix=/usr/local

This is a BIG help. Thank you.

I have re-installed my server with CentOS7. Resolved all (I think) my dependencies issues. Currently having some file permissions issues with Apache. My linux education continues.

As I look through your file, the initial question is, what version Samba have you installed? Or is it smbclient?

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?
