Jaime Hi there, I'm a noob to this software as well, and had the same problem! To get round it, create a folder in the catalogue/admin folder called "backups" Then go to the control panel, backups and perform the backup Should work!!
ozcsys Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Also make sure that you add write permissions to the folder as well The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems? There are many very useful osC Contributions Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??
Troyski Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Also make sure that you add write permissions to the folder as well Good point! - doh!!

'backups/'); cheers Jason Jason My Contributions: Paypal Payflow PRO | Rollover Category Images | Authorize.net Invoice Number Fix
