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

Well now that I am actually selling stuff and it is working out very good I thought I better backup my db, but when I tried I got this page below.

 

 

I have checked the configure.php in the admin directory many times. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.networking-help.biz'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.networking-help.biz');
 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.networking-help.biz');
 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module
 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '//home/content/n/h/a/myspace/html/store/'); // where the pages are located on the server
 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/store/admin/'); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/store/admin/'); // absolute pate required
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/'); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/content/n/h/a/myspace/html/store/'); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '/store/admin/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/');

 

If someone can help me that would be very cool.

Thanks

All that means is the folder 'backups' doesn't exist... it should be located at: catalog/admin/backups/

 

The admin/backup.php file probably will exist but your admin/backups folder isn't created. Just go and create it and the error message will go away :thumbsup:

I wish it was that easy...

 

I have checked everything, and it still is driving me crazy. The directory is there and has been there.

 

 

Then I checked the permissions and made sure they were set to 777

 

 

Is this helping any?

 

THanks

Is there something that matter with this?

 

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/store/admin/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/store/admin/'); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/'); // absolute path required

Remove DIR_FS_ADMIN . from the backup line and see if that works.

[danthony2]

Should it look like this?

 

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

 

Let me know, but I honestly think it might be something more because if you look at the post there are other problems of this nature.

 

Thank you

You have an e where there should be an h in path. If that's not it, then I am having the same problem and could use some help too
