Guest Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Did you created a backups folder under admin chmod at 777 ?
Guest Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/gzip) is not within the allowed path(s):Your host is using open_basedir for security reasons. As a result, you do not have access to /usr/bin/gzip, because it is not in an area that web server scripts are allowed to access. The basic fixes are to have the host turn off open_basedir or to have the host provide a copy of the zip executable somewhere that the web server can access. Good luck, Matt
