[BackupPC-users] No ping response & CGI setup

[William M. <wi...@kn...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get BackupPC to initiate a backup of the system which is running
the backuppc service. I've tried both the hostname and the full ip address, but
keep getting "No ping response" in the pc logs. If I login as the backuppc
user, I can successfully ping either so am not sure why the daemon is unable to
see the machines.

Also, I'm starting to think that my CGI script, although working, is not fully
functional. I saw a message in the mailing list archives about the ability to
force a full backup from the web interface. Howevever, the only available
options for me are Status, Documentation, and the link to SourceForge. It seems
that I should be able to view things like the LOGS, the Email Summary, Config
file, etc. I do not see any error messages in my web server logs. What am I
doing wrong?

I'm running BackUpPC v1.5.0 on Debian Woody. BTW, I had to make several
modifications to the sample init.d script in order to make it functional for
Debian. Craig, would you be interested in a copy to include with the other
samples?

Thanks,
William
