haroldh7 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 If I was to backup the database in os commerce, will that save all my product listing and images and all my work I put into os commerce. I figure if it does, then I could uninstall my oscommerce and move my oscommerce elsewhere and then use the backup to fix my oscommerce to look as I had it before I backed it up.

germ Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 A DB backup saves the names of the images used but doesn't backup the actual image files. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

cabachona Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have a problem that I don't know how to fix. I have not come across this before. Now I have changed servers and need to re-install OsCommerce from a fresh install I am getting this message when I want to back up the data base. Any suggestions please? Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/gzip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/spiritco:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/spiritco/public_html/Shop/admin/backup.php on line 443 Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/bin/zip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/spiritco:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/spiritco/public_html/Shop/admin/backup.php on line 444 Is this a simple "permissions" base problem because I have changed the permissions on the backup folder to 777 I don't understand the "file is not within the allowed path(s)" bit either.

cabachona Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thank you soooooo much Nic, :D you are a life saver! I have been using the MySQL to back up. However I am uncertain of it. Within OsCommerce, I know how to back up and restore as have done this many times over. Now I can get back to "normal". Thank you again. I really appreciate it :D Unconditional Love Makes The World Turn. When we stop and smell the flowers, we can all live instead of merely existing.
