Installing BackupPC

Hi all,
I'm trying to install BackupPC on my DNS-321 and am having some problems.  I'm a linux newbie, so please be gentle....

In the instructions on http://dns323.kood.org/howto:backuppc where it talks about installing additional Perl Modules, i'm at this section

cd /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/tmp/
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/ … .68.tar.gz
tar zxvf File-RsyncP-0.68.tar.gz
cd File-RsyncP-0.68/
perl Makefile.PL

-sh: perl: not found

I get the perl:not found error.  Looking in the bin folder, i can't find a perl executable.  How do I install perl on the box?

thanks

Re: Installing BackupPC

The problem is that the perl packages are downloaded into /mnt/HD_a2 and at the time of running funpkg -i *.tgz you're in /mnt/HD_a2/packages.
Furthermore, I believe the perl packages should end up in /mnt/HD_a2/extra-packages/ALL so do this:

cd /mnt/HD_a2
mkdir extra-packages
mkdir extra-packages/ALL
mv perl* extra-packages/ALL/
cd extra-packages/ALL
funpkg -i *.tgz

The rest should work now.

Re: Installing BackupPC

Np.

I had another issue at "Compiling and Installing BackupPC".

When you hit the compile error -  this page should help you along: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-us … 12132.html

You'll have to add write perms to various files and know your way around vim, but you'll get there.

I now have an internal server error at the sample.pl stage so I'm going to bed for a fresh start...

at least lighttpd is working...

Oh yeah - I'm trying this on a 313 so it's even trickier smile

Re: Installing BackupPC

actually, i did get that error, but i removed the brackets and it worked after that.

now, i'm trying to figure out how to get to log on to BackupPC.  using the instructions on http://dns323.kood.org/howto:backuppc, i can see the web page, but it doesn't give me the option to log on to the admin page.
