Hi Craig,

I pulled the latest from github and used makeDist, then ran configure.pl.

Cheers!

Mph,

 

configure.pl should update the value of $useFHS when it does the installation.  Did you install from Github using makeDist then configure.pl?  Or did you manually copy the files?

I noticed in github, backuppc3 lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm has $useFHS = 1, while master (v4) has $useFHS = 0.  While that shouldn't matter (since configure.pl updates it), I will change master to $useFHS = 1.

Hey guys,

noticed a change to Lib.pm from v3.x in v4.x that is causing headaches.
ConfDir values appear to be swapped...

In Lib.pm:
if ( $useFHS ) {
         $paths = {
             useFHS     => $useFHS,
             TopDir     => $topDir,
             InstallDir => $installDir,
             ConfDir    => $confDir eq "" ? '/etc/backuppc' : $confDir,
             LogDir     => '/var/log/BackupPC',
             RunDir     => '/var/run/BackupPC',
         };
     } else {
         $paths = {
             useFHS     => $useFHS,
             TopDir     => $topDir,
             InstallDir => $installDir,
             ConfDir    => $confDir eq "" ? "$topDir/conf" : $confDir,
             LogDir     => "$topDir/log",
             RunDir     => "$topDir/log",
         };

Upgrades will not work with this current configuration.  ConfDir values
for non FHS ConfDir should be set to '/etc/backuppc' for the upgrade to
work.  New installs do not work either as the default setup sets $useFHS
= 0 and places the config.pl in '/etc/backuppc'. This is from the latest
4.x git repo using makeDist.

A big Thank You to you all for such a great product!

Cheers,

mph
