Re: [BackupPC-users] Multiple Installations

[Ski K. <kac...@gm...>]

You definitely do not need multiple apache installs.  I am sure there is
an easier way, but I have set up multiple installations on the same
machine with no problems. Changes required are (not sure if I have all
of them here as it has been a while):

1. Create a second copy of /etc/backuppc (call it backuppc1)
2. Modify the apache.conf file in /etc/backuppc1 to point to it
3. Modify config.pl to point to /usr/share/backuppc1 for all
locations that did point to /usr/share/backuppc and to use a backuppc1
user
4. Set up init.d for backuppc1
5. Create the backuppc1 user.
6. Change backuppc to backuppc1 in the following scripts: 
   ../lib/BackupPC/CGI/View.pm
   ../lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm
   ../lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm
   ../cgi-bin/index.cgi

I also have a simple static web page that points to 8 different
installations of BackupPC on different machines (each installation
handles about 200 clients).  That way I can go to one page to see the
entire BackupPC system.

cheers,
