| + | To use the web interface I needed to specify the backuppc username in the /ffp/etc/lighttpd.conf: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | ## change uid to <uid> (default: don't care) | ||
| + | server.username = "backuppc" | ||
| + | |||
| + | ## change uid to <uid> (default: don't care) | ||
| + | server.groupname = "backuppc" | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | I installed and configured BackupPC as noted, including using the startup file. I used the option to run BackupPC as user 'backuppc' based on the provided script. After configuring a host and starting a backup, I was getting errors in the log file about no ping response. As root I could ping the client. However, as user backuppc I received the following error: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ping: permission denied (are you root?) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Non-root users cannot run ping in a standard busybox configuration. Running the following command will let non root users run the ping successfully. | ||
| + | |||
| + | chmod 4755 ./busybox-netutils | ||
