As said (see below) I managed to get an apparently working
installation.
I sat up a test backup on localhost and manually started a
backup.
Apparently everything was ok:
2016-03-18 09:44:29 full backup started for directory
/volume1/homes
2016-03-18 10:27:23 full backup 0 complete, 704991 files,
26858441879 bytes, 2019784 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad
shares, 2019784 other)
but the backup doesn't show up in "localhost HOME":
Host localhost Backup Summary
This PC has never been backed up!!
Apparently the datadir has been populated with something
making sense
.../data/pc/localhost/0 exists and contains a subdir
"f%2fvolume1%2fhomes" which is consistent with
the requested RsyncShareName(/volume1/homes).
The WEB GUI seems however unable to see this backup.
Nothe that, in order to test, I changed just the bare
minimum: added host and then XferMethod, RsyncShareName
and RsyncClientPath (the
latter because rsync is in a non-standard location on
client)
What should I check?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks Dan,
after fiddling a bit with strace (available as option on my
synology) I found the problem.
Problem is I installed with "--no-fhs" and in this condition
install process (configure.pl) and Lib.pm completely disregard
whatever I define as confdir and force it to be "$topDir/conf"
(see: Lib.pm#126).
I see this as a bug.
Same behavior seems present in LogDir definition (next line).
Did I miss something?
What is the right way to report such bugs? (if this indeed is
a bug).
Thanks

Thanks Dan,
I have a config.pl:
backuppc@syno0:~/BackupPC/conf$ ls -la
total 96
drwxr-x--- 2 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 backuppc users 4096 Mar 13 12:39 ..
-rw-r----- 1 backuppc users 85652 Mar 13 12:31 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
