BackupPC and lighttpd not working: Unable to connect

Hi,
I installed backuppc and lighttpd. I created log file and started. They are both running:

root@pinguinovolante /home/ambro # systemctl status lighttpd.service 
● lighttpd.service - Lighttpd Web Server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lighttpd.service; disabled; vendor pr
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-12-27 23:57:42 CET; 3s ago

    Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915)
   CGroup: /system.slice/lighttpd.service
           ├─10128 /usr/bin/lighttpd-angel -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

and

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/backuppc.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

dic 27 23:49:58 pinguinovolante systemd[1]: Started BackupPC.

I never used lighttpd before now so I don't have users for web pages like http

My /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf is similar to the /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf of wiki

root@pinguinovolante /home/ambro # cat /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
server.port             = 81
server.username         = "backuppc"
server.groupname        = "backuppc"
server.document-root    = "/srv/http"
server.errorlog         = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
dir-listing.activate    = "enable"
index-file.names        = ( "index.html", "index.php", "index.cgi" )
mimetype.assign         = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png", "" => "application/octet-stream" )
 
server.modules = ("mod_alias", "mod_cgi", "mod_auth", "mod_access" )
 
alias.url               = ( "/BackupPC_Admin" => "/usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin" )
alias.url               += ( "/backuppc" => "/usr/share/backuppc/html" )
 
cgi.assign              += ( ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" )
cgi.assign              += ( "BackupPC_Admin" => "/usr/bin/perl" )
 
auth.backend = "plain"
auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/passwd"
auth.require = ( "/BackupPC_Admin" => ( "method" => "basic", "realm" => "BackupPC", "require" => "user=admin" ) )

This is my /etc/lighttpd/passwd

root@pinguinovolante /home/ambro # cat /etc/lighttpd/passwd
admin:admin

When I try to connect with the admin page on http://localhost/BackupPC_Admin:81 my browser (firefox) give me "Unable to connect"
If I connect to the page http://localhost:81 my browser give me "Hello World" so I think lighttpd is working.... maybe.
Why I don't see my admin web page of backuppc?

Re: BackupPC and lighttpd not working: Unable to connect

You've got your port in the wrong place in that URL; it goes with the hostname, not the directory.  It should be http://localhost:81/BackupPC_Admin.

Also, I don't think you need the cgi.assign line mapping BackupPC_Admin to perl unless you actually have files with extension BackupPC_Admin.

Re: BackupPC and lighttpd not working: Unable to connect

Thank you and excuse me for my mistake.

Now when I connect to http://localhost:81/BackupPC_Admin the browser ask for user and password.

I try my username or admin or root password but I'm not able to enter.

My config.pl is this:

root@pinguinovolante /home/ambro # cat /etc/backuppc/config.pl |grep AdminUser
$Conf{EMailAdminUserName} = 'backuppc';
# $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} and the manual list of users, separated
# by spaces, in $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}. If you don't want a group or
# $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '*'.
#    $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = 'admin';
#    $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}     = 'craig celia';
#    $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = '';
#    $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}     = 'craig celia';
$Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers}     = 'ambro';
        EMailAdminUserName        => 1,

and my user is:

root@pinguinovolante /home/ambro # groups ambro
sys lp optical users vboxusers gaia adbusers lpadmin backuppc

What is the username and password that backuppc is asking me?
Thankyou
