Skip, it took me a while to understand that I first had to activate this menu option in admin permissions...Quote:

In the meanwhile I'm trying to make some small backwards steps, to double check what made Backup ZC stop behaving correctly...

This make me confident the error may be caused from the encoding of the pages, which is something I changed recently (as reported on my first post about this problem, some posts earlier...).
ALSO I've got the same error reported earlier (the one which made you think I entered a non present folder in the exclusion list) ONLY with the backup called from the Italian admin page...
BUT this should not happen, due to the fact that the contents of /admin/backup_zconfig.php is the same for both languages...
I double checked the files I translated and I don't think I entered any error... (but might let you see them for your investigation, if needed, just let me know how to...).
Any further idea ?
I just down loaded Italian Language Pack (complete) http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=161 and install it.Quote:

Can you attach the ZC BackUp admin language file so I can test.
You can also try renaming ZC Backup admin language file so zen cart can not see it. Then run ZC Backup with the upper case strings showing and see if it works.

This was quite obvious, as Backup ZC WAS WORKING before my modifications to unify collations in within the MySQL DB and connected modifications to the headers as reported HERE:Quote:

Open includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
Find:

And replace with:
@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');
Next find:
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');
And replace with:
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');
Step 2
Open YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english.php
Find:
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');
And replace with:
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');
Next find:
define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');
And replace with:
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');
Sure, here it is, and if you think the Italian translation can be useful, you might add to your contribution for free... :smile:Quote:

I don't know where the "edit message" but went, but it's not present today on my browser...
Anyway, I've tried renaming my translations to deactivate them, and tried making the backup with UPPER CASE strings, as suggested, but the error is always there, present...
I've also replaced my Italian translation within the /admin folder with the original ENGLISH ones, and the problem is still there...
I've replaced the original /admin/includes/languages/italian.php and the problem is stil there...
:dontgetit
It took me took long, so I cannot edit anymore again... :(
Well, I just went back with both user and admin side of SETLOCALE and CHARSET, but there was no differences...
Skip, are you sure there is nothing related to DB contents which is used by Backup ZC ???
Thanks for the language files I will add them to the next version.Quote:

Did some testing downloaded Convert db2utf8 converted the DB. Added define('CHARSET', 'utf-8'); to english.php/italian.php.Quote:

Have you tried 7-Zip to extract the files from the zip file?
Skip
Hi Skip,
yes, I usually try opening archives with many programs, as I know standards might be "non-standard"... :cool:
So I tried with WinRAR, 7Zip, TotalCMD internal one and sometimes I also try the Windows one (a little bit reckless).
I've tried looking and the "Convert db2utf8" addon, to see if there are differences, but I would not like to apply it "again" to my live website (and I do not have a production one with the same problems...).
It would be easier to send you my MySQL DB and english.php/italian.php for investigations, if needed... :blush:
BTW: when you say ' than changed all hard coded "iso-8859-1" ', what are you referring to, exactly ? Are there any other places where such coding is present beside "languages.php" in both user and admin side ?
You can PM me a link.Quote:
