phpwcms Support Forum

Hi,

i created a little Backup Script wich is really nice... Check out following Page

http://www.fast-webdesign.de/phpwcmsbackup/

The PHPWCMS Backup has some advantages you will never miss again.
Create a backup of an complete phpwcms-system in seconds. It will backup config-files and a database dump (sql file) with the complete tables of your phpwcms system. The Script will create a ZIP-file with the complete structure of the saved files.

Little Note from Pappnase:
This tool is based of the version from 22-04-04 so it will NOT backup the tmpl in article summary, article and reference. but the next release is in progress!*gg

also it runs NOT local!!!

Hi SirBandito,

thanks a lot for your script, but I don't get a zip file if I click on the "get Backup" button. The page reloads and nothing happens.

same prob here on a local installation...

I use miniserver with:
• Apache 2.0.48, • ActivePerl 5.8.0.809, • PHP 4.3.4, • MySQL 4.0.18, • phpMyAdmin-2.5.6, • Turck MMCache 2.4.6.

On winXP

i didnt test it on windows server machines.... maybe there are some problems.... i will test it and fix it

Cassiel wich server do u have!?

On 8 webservers i tested it and i didnt had any problems... Papnase tested it too and after some problems/calls with his host it works....

I gave it a try and experienced same symptom on my webhost:

Linux infong 2.4
Apache/1.3.29
PHP Version 4.3.6
MySQL 3.23.49
phpMyAdmin-2.5.6

I think it would be very powerfull if it will work... Look forward to the result of your tests

What does O.G think?

hello

the most webservers it runs! but why should it work local!? there is an backup more than simple! it was never thought to run local! sorry

This is a great add-on. Could it possibly do "restores" in a new (compatible) installation?

yes a cool thing could be that it saves backup in a folder and that your where able to restore from backups...

hello

the problem is the same like the phpwcms_filestorage.

1. at some webservers you could not create the folder by php script
2. it creates the folder but you have no rights to delete them!

that why we choose the zip solution.

Hi,

i will release a new version might today otherwise this weekend!!

hello

no that's not possible! cos the script only backup the config, css and with the next release also the tmpl files in the phpwcms_template folder.

Wouldn't a "restore" option save the trouble of entering all the data by hand in the admin panel if the database is lost or needs to be re-created from scratch?

hello

you will have a complete sql dump! so you can also restore the database via phpmyadmin.

OK, I see, I thought it is a dump of the data only.
