    Default backup mysite mod -- is it working?

    I installed the backup mysite mod and it shows up in the admin-tools but when I click on the backup button I get an hourglass for 10 seconds then done.

    does anyone know what this mod does like where it puts the backup if it makes one? and should there not be more then just that?

    I have the same question. It shows done, but I cannot find where it puts the backup (if it does at all).

    Someone suggested it should be in admin/backups, but it is not there.

    I installed the mysql backup, and that works correctly and I found the file in admin/backups, but the site backup mod does not do the same.

    I simply changed the line

    if (strlen($pathfile) > 99) die('Error'); in admin/backup_mysite.php
    to
    if (strlen($pathfile) > 9999) die('Error');

    This corrected the problem of it not saving to your computer and also not backing up the entire site. Not sure why changing it from 99 to 9999 worked. So, the update was found by accident. It may have something to do with the number of files it will back up??? Not sure.

    Default Re: backup mysite mod -- is it working?

    I did get this working after making a couple of mods to the backup_mysite.php file. I had coded a comparable extension for Vanilla forum software and decided to compare the two.

    If you edit that file and look in the function Tar_Archive, I added an "@" and then 2 lines of code as follows:

    readfile($tar_file);
    @unlink($tar_file); /*jimw add @*/
    if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) != 'WIN') touch($tar_file); /*jimw add*/
    ob_end_flush(); /*jimw add*/

    Then I modified the following line:

    $tar = new Tar_Archive("$tar_file"); /*jimw remove $ before new*/

    I've attached the modified file.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU jwurster!!

    You should package this, or have the mods or someone update the package in the DL area. that one is dangerous.

    I have had nothing but errors from that orig module, like these:
    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/public_html/.../admin/backup_mysite.php on line 66
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/.../admin/backup_mysite.php:66) in /home/darenec/public_html/.../admin/backup_mysite.php on line 45

    And then it breaks the admin page, prints my htaccess file behind various text boxes, displays install instructions for htmlarea (??), etc. Scary, scary behaviour.
