SnapShot [support thread]

[skipwater]

After you ftp the files up to your site and then went to your zen cart admin.
You selected Tools->SnapShot
This will run SnapShot for the first time it will do the following:

Checks that you have downloaded and installed the class file your_admin/includes/classes/twzFileWatch.class.php

Creates a folder called your_admin/backups/snapshot
Adds two files snapshot_filewatch.txt, snapshot_cron.php to the folder.

1. Is the class file twzFileWatch.class.php located in your your_admin/includes/classes/ folder?

This tells me that the class file is not found.

$fw->checkFiles();

2. Did SnapShot create your_admin/backups/snapshot folder and did it place the two files it the folder?

If SnapShot did not create the new folder then chmod the backups folder to 777.

And run SnapShot again.

Snapshot did make the snapshot directory.
I do have the class in that folder, and there are no inclusion errors.
If I do a

echo '<pre>';
print_r($fw);
echo '</pre>'; 

I can see the object, but since it is obfuscated ( I think that is the right term...) it isn't much help.
When I go to Tools->SnapShot I get the blank page I described.

I think 777 permisions won't work in my server environment, as I have suexec...

Thank you for your reply and if you have any further suggestions, I'd love to hear it. I will also post back if I find anything.

Ok, got it working...sorta. I could get it to run if I set

 $RecurseLevel = 0 

I then changed the

$CheckFolder = array(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/', DIR_FS_ADMIN); 

and then did this:

$fw->excludeFiles( array('./images/', './bmz_cache/') ); 

and increased the $RecurseLevel and it worked.

You were right, on the permissions for the snapshot_filewatch.txt file being world writable. Directories in my case are 755... (I might re-test this as I never modified the script to enforce 755 instead of 777...)

I think having about 100,000 images chokes the script/server....

Glad to see that you fixed it.

I would interested to know how long it took to scan 100,000 files.

If I could get it to run I would too!
But it crashed out after 30 seconds or so. Maybe the array is too big?

Are you getting any debug error files in the zc cache folder?

I have used the below commands to increase php settings. If you don't have access to php.ini

I place these two lines of code in the htaccess file in the root of zc.

php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value memory_limit 256M

(Dose not work on all servers )

Skip,
I won't have time to test this in the foreseeable future. Currently just inspecting the admin/* and includes/* and it'll probably stay that way until after I get 1.5 installed. I really appreciate your help, thank you so much.

I have this mod on one site where it is working perfectly. Installed it on another site this morning, and when I attempt to run it I get this error:

SnapShot a System File Watch

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 716 bytes) in /home/my_user_name/public_html/my_admin_folder/includes/classes/twzFileWatch.class.php on line 15

Any ideas?

That error is caused by php running out of memory you need to increase the memory available to php.

I just posted this above but here it is again:

Sometimes with the more memory php needs, more time is also needed so execution time is raised.

If it still errors try 512M

Doesn't work with my host, produces an internal server error.

The php memory limit is the same on this site as it is on the site where the mod is working. Both are 128MB.

Now, here's a kicker. For giggles I just uninstalled the current version of the mod and installed the previous version - the one with the buttons. It works.
