I have installed backuppc from the repositories. I confirmed to use Apache and noted the random password for the GUI user. There was no install error. When I tried to login to

http://myhost.mydomain/backuppc

I did get a password box but after the password box there was not the BackupPC GUI but a popup window

 You have chosen to open:

 which is: BIN file (6.1 KB)
 from: http://myhost.mydomain
 Would you like to save this file?

I had a running apache2 on the server. I am not sure how the installer gets its page included into Apache. I just saw and /etc/backuppc/pc/apache.conf file, but did not understand what it does. There is cgi content in /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin, but it does not seem to be available to Apache.

I did try the install on a other machine, also Xubunut16.04, but I had the same result.

Any ideas? Thanks CatMan

Same problem here under Ubuntu server 16.04.2 amd64 Installed by apt-get install backuppc

My solution was

sudo a2disconf serve-cgi-bin  
sudo service apache2 reload

empty cache every time you make a change
