I failed to get BackupPC 3.0 working last time I tried with the TAR install. Found it’s available as an RPM.<\/p>\n
Browsing Started full backup from web interface. It failed: The problem is that BackupPC is trying to SSH to root, but there’s no key to allow backuppc to log in without a password. To test, su to backuppc as above and run I failed to get BackupPC 3.0 working last time I tried with the TAR install. Found it’s available as an RPM. # yum install BackupPC# service httpd start Browsing http:\/\/localhost\/BackupPC popped up a prompt for username and password for “BackupPC” at http:\/\/localhost. Neither BackupPC’s password nor root’s worked.File \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/BackupPC.conf says:AuthUserFile \/etc\/BackupPC\/apache.usersSo I created apache.users file […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familytidings.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}# yum install BackupPC

File \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/BackupPC.conf<\/code> says:AuthUserFile \/etc\/BackupPC\/apache.users<\/code>
So I created apache.users<\/code> file with my user name (not backuppc) in it.
Now can see the BackupPC page, but it says it’s unable to connect to the BackupPC server.<\/p>\n# service backuppc start<\/code><\/p>\nRead EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
