OK. I have done this. For now I have commented out the
security/authorization section. When I request http://debian/backuppc/ I
get a file not found. When I request
http://debian/backuppc/BackupPC_Admin I get the BackupPC_Admin file as a
text file. I am guessing that I need perl on my Apache2. is this correct?

I just installed BackupPC 3.0 on a new installation on Debian. I had a
previous installation and have a SCSI drive with backup data from the
old install so I am hoping to get reconfigured to use those backups. The
problem currently is that I am getting an "Authorization Required"
prompt and the install did not give me a username/password combination
like that older version did.
Where is the htpasswd file located so I can change the password to
something I can use?
I just finished a fresh install on ubuntu 6.06 and put the following at
the end of my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file (virtial host
section).
Alias /backuppc/ "/usr/local/BackupPC/cgi-bin/"
<Directory /usr/local/BackupPC/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AuthGroupFile /etc/BackupPC/htgroup
AuthUserFile /etc/BackupPC/htpasswd
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC admin"
require valid-user
</Directory>
I also created a symlink index.cgi -> BackupPC_Admin in the cgi directory
and put the user www-data into group backuppc.
