Thanks fo getting back to me on this.

 

No, I did not change anything. I simply ran the script, I got what I got and now see lots of gif files.

 

Let me further explain that I had Bpc4 running on CentOS over a year ago. I searched for my notes and have not found them, yet, but, I have a vague memory of having a similar experience when I started one of my Bpc setups (cannot remember if it was an expereince on Bpc3 or Bpc4 setup.)

 

(And, my memory isthat my solution was related to "BackupPC_Admin". But, that is a memory that could be incorrect.)

 

So, I am familar with Bpc4 from a *.tar file installation. I am not that familar with 'sed' replacement strings. Could some portion of your script have failed and that is why I am seeing gif files?

 

Please do not be offended by my suggestion. I am trying to eliminate possible reasons to figure out why Bpc4 is not running correctly.

Hi Bob,

 

Did you change the setting in config.pl? Otherwise the default it is
/BackupPC_Admin. I'll improve the wiki page with a note about that.

 

Best regards,
Johan

I found my notes from July 2015 when I installed BackupPC v4 on CentOS.

I tailed the /var/log/BackupPC/LOG and discovered this:

root@backuppc4:~# tail -f /var/log/BackupPC/LOG
2016-12-30 06:43:54 Reloading config/host files via CGI request
2016-12-30 06:43:54 Next wakeup is 2016-12-30 07:00:00
2016-12-30 06:46:51 Reading hosts file
2016-12-30 06:46:51 unix bind() failed: No such file or directory

I Googled the phrase "unix bind() failed: No such file or directory" and found a CentOS bug report (https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9260) from August 2015 that BackupPC was not creating a "/var/run/BackupPC directory". I created the directory and created a /etc/tmpfiles.d/BackupPC.conf file with this content:
D /var/run/BackupPC 0775 root backuppc - and BackupPC v4 now presents an expected (normal) webpage.

I hope this helps anyone having this experience. Problem solved.
