Backup Function Missing Data Tables Error after upgrade 1.82
« on: August 11, 2005, 02:42:12 am »
Hi,

I have just upgrade to 1.82 and the first and the second fix, and when I try to backup my Database I get the Following error:

Optimizing tables... DONE
Writing backup file... DONE
Verifying backup file... ERROR - MISSING DATA TABLES

 
I must also say that I use a mod to move a subscriber from one list to another list after the first sequence is finished, in the daily-xtra.php :

<?php
/* Start LOOP LIST 3 */

 // set list to move users from
 $looplist = '3';

 // get last followup on the list  list($lastfup)=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("select seq from lm_follow where list = '$looplist' order by seq desc limit 1",$link));

 // increment by one to match users who are the end of the sequence  $lastfup = $lastfup + 1;

 // get first followup seq and delay  list($firstfup,$firstdel)=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("select seq,del from lm_follow where list = '$looplist' order by seq limit 1",$link));

 // update users
 mysql_query("update lm_users set cseq = '$firstfup', cdel = '$firstdel' where list = '$looplist' and cseq = '$lastfup'",$link);

/* End LOOP LIST 3 */
?>



But I do not think that this causes this error message.


Also I would like to mention that the last time I got your help to install the Listmail pro in the new server that I moved to, Dreamhost, but the cron doesn't work. (I do not get a report at each day at the admin's email). When you setup my server you told me that I have setup successfully the cron to the Dreamhost server. Can you please help me, to see what's the problem?
 
Regards
James

Backup Function Missing Data Tables Error after upgrade 1.82

The backup issue is quite common and should not have anything to do with daily-xtra.php

The backup routine is problematic because I use a "shell" call to a MySQL command-line utility and shell access and limits can vary across hosts.  I will be rewriting the backup routine to be 100% PHP in the near future to eliminate the problem.

I recommend that you do manual backups with PhpMyAdmin, as outlined in this post, until I update the backup process.
