Error create backup file
At my new server I get an error message when I try to create a backup file with >> Tools >> Import/Export

The error message is:

CRITICAL ERROR OCCURED: Unable to open backup2105 for writing: Permission denied at .../admin/Links/Import/S2BK.pm line 78

Probably I need to chmod something, isnīt it?

Change the permission of your backup folder to 777 (chmod 777 backup).

Eliot,

the backup files of the static-pages section will be build during building pages.

The problem what I have is building backup with >> Tools >> Import export and mysqlman >> SQL-Dump

There I get the error message

Right...and you need to make sure that the BACKUP folder is set to 777 (readable, writable, executable). The permission error you are receiving means that the BACKUP folder is not properly set.

Are you using the Links SQL import feature or the mysqlman import?



Thanks.

I'm getting an error while trying to create a backup using Import/Export. My backup directory is set at 777. I have Links SQL 2.05.

CRITICAL ERROR OCCURED: Unable to open /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin/linkssql/admin/backup for writing: Is a directory at /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin/linkssql/admin/Links/Import/S2BK.pm line 78

Here is line 78:

Code:
open EXPORT_FH, "> $$opt{destination}" or critical "Unable to open $$opt{destination} for writing: $!";

I tried creating other directories, 777, but got the same error.

The script builds backups during the Build process fine as far as I can tell.

Would anyone have any idea about what could be the problem?

Thanks very much. Smile

Hi,

Did you enter in a valid path for where to create the backup?

Cheers,

Alex
