As far as I can tell from experience with my upgrade on my CentOS 7 box,
yes, that's all that should be required. I did update some of the
SELinux contexts for 4.x and other tweaks so it would be good to hear
how smoothly things go as I haven't gotten any feedback yet from people
upgrading from 3.x to 4.x.
OK, this started out like it was going to be a trivial update.
Dnf'd the update, checked out config.pl and made needed changes there
and my hosts file, and fired off a full, SMB-based backup of a Windows 7 PC.
Version 4.x dutifully converted the backup pool. The backup ran for 24
hours and never completed, then it was killed and restarted. *This was
the very problem that led to my abandoning version 3.x 18 months ago.*
So, I assumed something, somewhere is corrupted, and dnf removed
BackupPC and the very old pool, and re-installed. Again, restored
changes to config.pl and hosts file.
Now BackupPC won't start. Web page says:
"Error: Wrong user: my userid is 48, instead of 987(backuppc)
This script needs to run as the user specified in $Conf{BackupPCUser},
which is set to backuppc.
This is an installation problem. If you are using mod_perl then it
appears that Apache is not running as user backuppc. If you are not
using mod_perl, then most like setuid is not working properly on
BackupPC_Admin. Check the permissions on
/usr/libexec/BackupPC/BackupPC_Admin and look at the documentation."
UID 48 is, of course, apache.
Permissions on /usr/libexec/BackupPC/BackupPC_Admin appear to be
correct, based on comparison from a dump-based backup.
Googling this message brings up lots of hits, mostly suggestions to run
either BackupPC as the apache user, or to run Apache as the backuppc
user. Neither works in this case.
Other ideas welcome. Thanks.
