Thanks Dan,
I have a config.pl:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 backuppc users  2214 Mar 13 12:31 hosts

athough I did not (yet) configure it in any way (I plan to do it from the web IF) it already contains the

    $Conf{Language} = 'en';

line.

My guess is BackupPC is unable to find (or read) config.pl, but I can't understand why.
What should I check?

Any pointer welcome.

Regards
Mauro

I know nothing about a synology nas, but i found this in the source:

My config.pl file has

    $Conf{Language} = 'en';


I wonder if you aren't getting a config.pl file at all, perhaps the source installation doesn't give you one, just an example with a different name that you are supposed to customize.

hope this helps.

I already tried sending this, but it never showed in ML, so I'm trying again (sorry if You get a duplicate).

Hi,
I am trying to install BackupPC-3.3.1 (the latest, AFAIK) on a Synology NAS.
Obviously I have no way to use pre-packaged distributions and thus I resorted to install from .tar

I installed using:

==================================================
#!/bin/bash

user=backuppc
home=/opt/backuppc
pdir=$home/BackupPC
ddir=$home/data

cd BackupPC-3.3.1

perl configure.pl --batch --backuppc-user=$user --compress-level=3 --config-dir $pdir/conf \
--cgi-dir $pdir/cgi-bin --data-dir $ddir --no-fhs \
--hostname syno0 --html-dir $pdir/images --html-dir-url /images \
--install-dir $pdir --log-dir $pdir/log --uid-ignore
==================================================

User backuppc exists and its HOME dir is /opt/backuppc.
/opt/backuppc is a mount point for a ext4 filesystem (actually mounted "-o bind", if it matters).

Trying a very basic:

backuppc@syno0:~/sandbox$ /opt/backuppc/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
No language setting
BackupPC::Lib->new failed

Same result if I try the command as "root".
This is strange because I checked and Lib->new() always prints something to STDERR before returning in error (without a return value).
I also checked permissions, but everything looks good to me:

backuppc@syno0:~/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC$ ls -la
total 172
drwxr-xr-x 8 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 8794 Mar 13 12:31 Attrib.pm
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 CGI
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 Config
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 11310 Mar 13 12:31 Config.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 12963 Mar 13 12:31 FileZIO.pm
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 Lang
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 42427 Mar 13 12:31 Lib.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 21079 Mar 13 12:31 PoolWrite.pm
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 Storage

-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 19728 Mar 13 12:31 View.pm
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 Xfer
-r--r--r-- 1 backuppc users 5070 Mar 13 12:31 Xfer.pm
drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 Zip

Also the "No language setting" bit is strange, since I have:

backuppc@syno0:~/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

I also did some other checks, but nothing looked wrong (to me).
Can someone, pretty please, help me?
TiA
Mauro
