Backup stopped working
« on: March 13, 2005, 06:25:40 pm »
G'day,

I run version 1.77.

Few days ago I ran a backup for the first time and it worked fine.

Today I tried to run it again and it writes out an empty file.

Is this a known bug? How do I work around this problem?

Thanks and regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the forum!  Two known areas of concern with the backup process include:

1. Your mail/attach folder must be CHMOD (permissions) to 777 (readable/writable/executable for all)

2. Detection of the path to MySQL can fail.  You might need to manually set the path in config.php.  This post could be useful.

Please let me know if you continue to have troubles.

Regards!

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your reply. I tried another backup today and this time it worked. Next time it plays up, I'll hard code the path and see if it helps.

Many thanks,
Andrew
