Thank you for that clarity, Richard.

The slight differences is how a user does this or that between the two distros (CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu) elude me at times. For give my ignorance, I have not used CentOS much over the years.

The "systemctl status" for both "backuppc" and "httpd" show them both "active (running)" but "http://ipaddress/BackupPC/" still yields "Unable to Connect" on the webpage.

Checked "firewalld" and added http access.

Now, "http://ipaddress/BackupPC/" yields "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /BackupPC/ on this server."

Following the README.fedora I set backuppc user for web access but I am guessing this, once again, is the different between the two distros and I do not remember what to do? Is it permission issues between BackupPC and Apache? Or is it user permissions?

It's apache, the previous maintainer defaulted the access to local machine only... I may change that but I'd need to know how to do it in a generic way since I have no idea what kind of subnet you're on. In my case at home I use 192.168.0.0/24 so I had to modify /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf from:

# Apache 2.4

Require valid-user

Require local

</RequireAny>

</RequireAll>

</IfModule>

to:

# Apache 2.4

Require valid-user

Require local

Require ip 192.168.0 <---- HERE

</RequireAny>

</RequireAll>

</IfModule>

Which would allow any computer on my subnet to access the server. After that a "systemctl restart httpd" should work.

Thanks,

Richard
