Backup problem : error

[airuma]

Ok, you all heard this before. I have that error that says: "Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php."

 

The Backup Manager under "Title" says : "Backup Directory: DIR_FS_ADMINbackups/"

 

The configure.php file reads:

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . '/backups/');

 

I have a backups folder under admin and it is chmod to 777

 

I tried all other suggestions I read around the forums. :'( What am I missing??

 

Thanks a bunch!

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

Actually, you need to add a directory called 'backups' to your 'admin' folder. It doesn't exist at the moment.

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

That is what it was before, but I saw someone suggest to add the / before backups. Makes no difference either way, doesn't work still.

[♥Vger]

Read my post - that is the solution. Nothing to do with pathways or your configure file. In your config file it just needs to be backups/, and in your 'admin' folder you need to have another folder called 'backups' - not 'backup'.

While we are on this subject :P

 

I read the KB about the Database Backup Manager.... tells me to create folder etc...

but in my admin console it tells me to configure in my configure.php file.... but the KB never said anything about doing anything to the configure.php file????

 

everything is still in its default state right now....

and where is a good place to put the backup folder??? under _private?

[airuma]

I created that already. And it is backups, not backup.

 

I'm telling you, I read all the posts on the subject I could find and tried everything. Can't figure it out!

Not sure what you mean. Read my first post, I have all the data there ;)

in your admin configure there should be a statement :

 

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'D:/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/'); // absolute pate required

 

before :

 

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');
