[Solved] Setting up Server-Application: BackupPC

Hi,

I try to get the server backup solution BackupPC installed and working, especially the web-interface. Setting up a (home alone) web-server is new for me and kind of a challange. I noticed that the wiki article is kind of deprecated because BackupPC is now part of the official repositorys, and no longer in AUR. But in this official package are certain files missing that are mentioned in the wiki article, like

/etc/rc.d/backuppc-httpd
/etc/httpd/conf/backuppc.conf

for example. Also the official BackupPC Documentation mentions the latter, so I'm confused.

I already set up an apache server and got mod_perl working, thanks to the great wiki article (->mod_perl now works). The only thing that's missing is the integretaion of BackupPC.

UPDATE:

Filed a bug-report about the one crucial missing file (/etc/httpd/conf/backuppc.conf) and got it finally running.

UPDATE 2:

An update on the wiki-article is now available.
