Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup_dump - Wrong User

[James K. <jam...@uc...>]

I am having this *exact* issue. However, I run a dedicated apache  
server for BackupPC that I compiled myself. No modules are loaded  
except mod_perl and mod_unique_id is not statically compiled either.  
I've never had issue with starting the apache server like yourself.

However, I do have the issue of hte BackupPC::Lib->new failed error  
requiring the backuppc daemon be restarted.

I should mention that sometimes backuppc will run for weeks without  
issue, so you might not be out of the water yet (I hope you are!).
