Oh, and when I could not get it to work (and since it s a test pre-install box anyway) I updated to the testing RPMS to get on 8.0b7.
Eventually I wiped out my previous BackupPC stuff and used this:
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install BackupPC
to install:
http://smemirror.fullnet.co.uk/releases/testing/8.0beta7/smecontribs/i386/repoview/BackupPC.htmlAnd yet still, even at that point, I could not access the web interface without adding in an Include in the main httpd.conf file.
It could be something wrong on my install, I am not ruling that out, but the point is that it didn't "just work". Just a word to those in the future who may find this thread via a search.
UPDATE:
In looking through more, I see a version of an install package under the 7.5.1 release tree, smeserver-BackupPC, and it seems to have all the SME specific files for the GUI, the web config stuff, and so on, but I wasn't sure how it would interact with the RPM above that is in the 8.0 branch.
UPDATE2:
So, I am still learning about SME Server. So it appears that both the BackupPC package *AND* the smeserver-BackupPC package need to be installed? If so, this is clearly my problem as I only installed the BackupPC one. I followed the instructions to add the sme7contribs repo in as well and installed smeserver-BackupPC via yum with both sme7contribs and smecontribs enabled to handle dependencies. The install went fine, and all seems to work now. Since this is a test server, I will blow it all away and try to reproduce the steps without all of my prior bungled modifications.
