I recently installed BackupPC on one of my SME 8.0 servers and followed the doc here
http://wiki.contribs.org/BackupPCHalf-way down I realized after trying to install BackupPC that the repo did not contain BackupPC. I then found at
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#smeserver-BackupPC contained the current information for enabling the correct repo for version 8.0 as follows:
db yum_repositories set rpmforge repository \
BaseURL '
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/rpmforge' \
EnableGroups no \
Exclude freetype,htop,iptraf,rsync,syslinux \
GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt \
Name 'RPMForge - EL5' \
Visible no \
status disabled
signal-event yum-modify
yum install --enablerepo=rpmforge perl-XML-RSS perl-Time-module* perl-File-RsyncP
wget
http://repo.firewall-services.com/centos-testing/5/noarch/BackupPC-3.2.0-7.beta0.el5.fws.noarch.rpmyum localinstall BackupPC-3.2.0-7.beta0.el5.fws.noarch.rpm
signal-event post-upgrade && signal-event reboot
I executed exactly as presented but after reboot I have no entry in either server-manager nor by going to the url
https://server/BackupPC.
Going to the httpd logs I do see entries as follows:

Additionally I also noticed the BackupPC service was not running and I had to manually start it?
After this I decided to search the forums for anything related to BackupPC and SME Server 8.0 and found this thread:

Iafter some reading and failed attempts I contacted Daniel and he got back to me very quickly.
Here is a summary of what's required to install BackupPC on sme8.0...
Quote
Configure EPEL for SME8, as explained here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel Configure sme7contribs repo as explained here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup Install BackupPC and it's dependancies:
Code: [Select]
yum --enablerepo=epel install BackupPC
Install smeserver-BackupPC:
Code: [Select]
yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs install smeserver-BackupPC
You may have to expand the sudoers template:
Code: [Select]
expand-template /etc/sudoers
This has worked perfectly for me on 3 servers now. Please remember that this just additional information to be read in conjunction with the wiki howto.
Thanks, Daniel,

If this is the correct procedure for installing BackupPC on SME 8.0 then why does the wiki not correlate with this information?
My question is how do I properly reverse what I did in the beginning and how to properly install thereafter?
Thanks.....
