241 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 If you have created the directory backups in the admin folder i.e. admin/backups/ then you should not need to do anything with the configure.php file when you do a refresh the error should be gone No longer giving free advice.

sirjohn Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi Steve I did that but still get the error. What chmod shold it be and permision. But I do not think this is what is wrong. You helped me with mySQL a few days ago and the only way I found to fix it was to edit the /home/sites/domain/web/osc/eshop/includes/configure.php and change "https:" to "http". The problem was the shop would look for pages under https even when it was set to false. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The permission would be chmod 755. Yes I did indeed help you before and will again if I can. No longer giving free advice.

sirjohn Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Steve I checked all and is correct but I stll get Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php. Backup Directory: /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin/backups/ FTP shows /web/osc/eshop-admin/backups The directory is there and the chmod is 755 I am lost.

241 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 So your admin/includes/configure.php has this define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin/backups/ '); and your admin/backups directory is chmod 755 then all should be well. You are using an ftp program to create the backups directory and chmod it 755 that is all that needs to be done. The only thing I can think of is if a path is wrong or the backups directory has been named backup instead of backups No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

sirjohn Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Done that but now I get Backup Directory configure.php is set at: define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Earlier you posted this Backup Directory: /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin/backups/ FTP shows /web/osc/eshop-admin/backups ftp showing /web/osc/eshop-admin/backups however the configure.php had this /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin/backups/ where is the web/osc/eshop-admin/ the path should be home/sites/www.***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ No longer giving free advice.

sirjohn Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 I changed the path to home/sites/www.***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ Get the same error but the path now is Backup Directory: /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin//home/sites/***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ So the correct path must be backups/ changed back to this and I get Backup Directory: /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin/backups/ It is there but the shop does not see it. Is there another file I should edit? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Done that but now I get Backup Directory configure.php is set at: define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php. Thanks John change this line to be exactly this define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', home/sites/www.***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ '); the path needs to be exact, so maybe post the configure.php file and I will amend it for you.

sirjohn Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 I was not being clear. I changed define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); to define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . '/home/sites/***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/'); and when I went to the osc admin page it said after a refresh Backup Directory: /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin//home/sites/***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I was not being clear. I changed ? define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); to ? define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . '/home/sites/***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/'); and when I went to the osc admin page it said after a refresh Backup Directory: /home/sites/www.***********/web/eshop-admin//home/sites/***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ Thanks John that is because you have not taken out the DIR_FS_ADMIN . as I showed you in my last post change the line to be exactly this ? define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', home/sites/www.***********/web/osc/eshop-admin/backups/ '); notice that there is no DIR_FS_ADMIN . in the line of code I have given you No longer giving free advice.
