pafranklin Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Hi, please would someone advise me how to back up my SQLdatabase? Also if I have encountered a problem when loading a contribution, is it possible to "undo" a change to the database? Thanks. You will never learn if you don't try. And boy am I trying....!
bobg7 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 In Admin - Tools there is the Database Backup that will backup your database, and yes you can restore the backup if you need to from the same place.

♥Monika in Germany Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 thanks but I am getting a message that I need to set up in configure.php? How do I do that? go to ftp or your file manager in your host panel and add the folder "backups" to the admin folder. Make it 777 :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

moby74 Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Hello, I'm having the same problem with the configure.php. I tried making the following change and I still get teh same "backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php. I went into my file manager and under the catalog/admin I created a folder called backup. Is there some type of editing I need to do in the configure.php file now. thanks for any help. Thanks again Monika - That's twice this week you have saved me!
pafranklin Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Hi, ONce you have set up the folder called "backup" you need to go to your hosting package and in there file manager or protected directories area then set the permission for the file to 777. This should make it available and wriatable when you go back to OSC admin area. You will never learn if you don't try. And boy am I trying....!

moby74 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks to both of you. I had finally figured out that i was missing the s. I tried posting to say that i had figured it out but it must have been to a different response. Thanks for being so helpful. it will not work if the new folder is called backup, only if it's called "backups"
