[BackupPC-users] Error: Only privileged users can view information about host ...

[Alberto L. <la...@ro...>]

Hello,

I am having problems with installation.
I am getting the 
Error: Only privileged users can view information about host fiji


when trying to access.  I have tried for a while to get it to work with
no luck. The system seems to backup correctly, and the first page of the
BackupPC_Admin looks correct, however I have no luck with the individual
pages of the different machines

Here are some details:
I created a user called backuppc.


I edited the config.pl to read
$Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = '';
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers}     = 'backuppc';



I added the following to my httpd.conf
**********************************************************************

User backuppc
Group backuppc

<IfModule mod_perl.c>
        PerlModule Apache::Registry
        <Location /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC/BackupPC_Admin>
           SetHandler perl-script
           PerlHandler Apache::Registry
           Options ExecCGI
        </Location>
</IfModule>

<Location /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin>  
    Setenv REMOTE_USER backuppc
</Location>     
**********************************************************************


the permissions on /var/httpd/cgi-bin are

the permissions on the backup directory are:

.htaccess on the /var/www/cgi-bin directory
**********************************************************************
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd     # <--- change path as needed
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType basic
AuthName "access"
require valid-user
**********************************************************************


the /etc/httpd/conf/passwd file has been set.

the hosts file has:
fiji        0       user

where fiji is a test machine and user is a user account 


I am running redhat9 kernel 2.4.20-9smp


I tried running from the host machine as well as from the other
machines;  I tried to run as a regular user, even as root, as with the
same results

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am out of ideas.
