Re: BackupPC error

Well I never have used BackupPC software but for me the problem is not the hosts file.

I think the program is trying to open a UNIX socket file and for some reason (the directory where the file should reside no longer exists or some permission problems) is failing.

I was able to replicate you problem with a program of my own trying to create UNIX socket in a directory that doesn't exist:

[root@localhost ~]# vi echos.c
[root@localhost ~]# ./echos
bind: No such file or directory

The offended lines of code:

if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&local, len) == -1) {
                perror("bind");
                exit(1);
}

Hi.  I'm running F15 and have been using BackupPC successfully for
years.  I rebooted my computer this morning and noticed that BackupPC
failed to start.  Its log file has this:

2011-08-11 08:00:25 Reading hosts file
2011-08-11 08:00:25 unix bind() failed: No such file or directory

But the hosts file exists.  I haven't touched it in a long time.

-rw-r--r--. 1 backuppc backuppc 2301 Jan 12  2011 /etc/BackupPC/hosts

The version of BackupPC I'm running is BackupPC-3.2.1-1.fc15.x86_64.
Does anyone have any hints about why it's failing?

Thanks,
Reid
