Admin won't allow me to do backup

[Guest]

Hi,

 

In my admin, when I click Tools>Database Backup it has a pink band at the top of the page and says:

 

"Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php"

 

I DO have a directory called "backups" in catalog>admin and it is chmod to 777. I opened configure.php and I don't see any setting for backups there.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

Make sure you are looking at catalog/admin/includes/configure.php and not catalog/includes/configure.php. There are two different files.

 

In the admin one you'll see

 

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

Hi,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I found that file and that line is there exactly as you copied it. But it still doesn't work. It still says to "set this in configure.php". I can't figure out why it keeps saying this.

Sorry - here are a few more details. In my admin>Database backup manager it says:

Backup Directory: /homepages/18/d92477265/htdocs/admin/backups/

 

Shouldn't the path include "catalog" in it? Like this:

Backup Directory: /homepages/18/d92477265/htdocs/catalog/admin/backups/

 

here is what I have in configure.php:

 

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

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 can't figure out to make this work and I need to backup my database.

 

Thanks!

Debbie
