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

[Guest]

Just logged into my admin panel and noticed this ?

 

I cant for the life of me remeber ho to fix it

 

Any ideas

[241]

create a directory called backups in the admin directory

[Guest]

Tried this, but it still gives up the same error

[ozcsys]

Tried this, but it still gives up the same error

 

Make sure you assign write permissions to the directory. If osC cannot write to the folder you will get the same error

Hav tried that too but still nothing,

 

Here is the source form my configure.php

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.sparksmusic.co.uk'); // eg, [url=http://localhost]http://localhost[/url] - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.sparksmusic.co.uk');
 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');
 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module
 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server
 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog/'); // absolute path required
 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 . 'includes/backups/');

 

Is there anything wrong with the code ?

[241]

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

 

this path means that you would need to create the directory in admin/includes normally this reads

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

and that is why I stated that you would need to create the directory backups in admin

 

 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog/');

 

should be

 

 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog');

 

without the / at the end

so your admin/includes/configure.php looks like this

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.sparksmusic.co.uk'); // eg, [url=http://localhost]http://localhost[/url] - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.sparksmusic.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module
define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog'); // where the pages are located on the server
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/content/DesignerPlus/s/p/sparksmusic.co.uk/web/catalog/'); // absolute path required
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/');

 

and you have a directory catalog/admin/backups which has the permission set CHMOD 777

 

NOTE: the FS_ADMIN path was wrong
