No existing backup

[redstramd]

Houston we have a problem!

I'm trying to move an old database to new server and have found out that no backups have ever been made.

When I get to the Tools section I get this message:

 

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

 

But right below it this:

 

Backup Directory: /Library/WebServer/WebSites/*********.com/catalog/admin/admin/backups/

 

it sees the folder but will not backup anything. The new server and web host has a great setup and I can backup /restore all I want.

 

Any ideas? I've gone through the configure.php file in the includes folder...it's the only one from the old install. but nothing about enable anywhere

 

Thanks!!!!

you have to create you own backups folder in admin. just a blank one and the do you backup.

I created the backup folder. The error message still exists. On the new installs...there are buttons for backup...not on the old install.

I wasn't around for the old versions....stuck doing mopup duty.

 

How do you backup with no existing backup?

it must be backups and not backup

it must be backups and not backup

Also, Check the permissions on the folder.

Is it just me or does anyone else think it's "fishy" that /admin appears TWICE in the path?

:unsure:

 

In my admin configure file, I have the path defined as such:

 

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

Yes, I'd say that is where Houston is having a problem. :-)

Didn't notice his path earlier.
