-The BackupPC-Webfrontend is initially configured so that you can only access it from the localhost. If you want to access it from all machines in your network, you have to edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/backuppc.conf. Edit the line:

-  allow from 127.0.0.1
+I’ve just made a fresh install of backuppc on Jessy. However, when I visited the web interface then the browser just shows a bin file like this:
-to:
+{{ :jessy:backuppc.png?nolink&200 |}}
-  allow from 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0
+Having a bin file server from Apache (or any other web server) generally means there is a fault with the webserver and the script isn’t being parsed before it’s served.   A quick look at the Apache log files located at /var/log/apache2/error.log shows the problems:
+unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries: /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi
+Apache2 isn’t parsing the file through a cgi script.  The Apache server doesn’t have the cgi module enabled.  You can enable an Apache module from the command line without editing any configurations.
+  a2enmod cgid
+This returns "Module cgid already enabled".  Then restart apache2
+  apachectl restart
+You should then have a working copy of backuppc.
