I changed the memory and time limits in the modbak module. Now this is working. Yeah!

Well, Thanks to wordcooper’s suggestion, I finally have the installation working. Thank you so much!

I uninstalled Modbak entirely. Deleted my local copies of the code. Downloaded a new file and reinstalled on the server. Finally, the installation is working!! Yeah!

Now I’m getting memory errors when I run it. I’ve truncated the event logs but the problem persists. I’ve posted this issue on another topic related to this problem.

Thanks for all your help!

The only thing I can think of, being a PHP newbie, is to make sure the files mentioned are wher they should be and have the proper permissions (0644):

manager/processors/execute_module.processor.php

and

assets/modules/modbak/modbak.php

Sorry I can’t help more.

Thanks Ram

Yes, that was already modified:

// directory to contain zipped archives, default is servers document root, not secure
$modx_backup_dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/backup/';

Any other suggestions?  I know this shouldn't be this hard. . . ;)

I think you may need to modify the reference to the backup directory in the module itself too.

Edit the module code in the manager @ Modules>Manage Modules>Modbak. It’s somewhere around line 40.

I removed the underscore on the folder and in the settings file. No change.

You indicated the settings.php file need not be changed? What about step 3 in the instructions?

Install:
---------
1. Create a directory on your webserver to hold modx .zip archives (ie /home/username/_backup ) and set read/write permissions to 777
2. Unzip modbak directory under /assets/modules/ directory. --> /assets/modules/modbak
3. Edit /assets/modules/modbak/settings.php, and set $modx_backup_dir to backup dir in new directory created in (1)
4. Create a new Module in MODx manager and copy contents of modBak.module.tpl into module code.
5. Now run module, click generate, if it works there should be a .zip link containing your modx site.

It looks OK. This is basically my line:

$modx_backup_dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/home/httpd/website/html/manager/data/';

I would try it without the underscore. Maybe that is causing problems. Obviously, you also need to rename the folder, too.

Word cooper, thank for you help.

I restored the original download.php file and tried to run modback again. I still get the same errors.

Is this the correct way to modify the settings file? Is this how the path should be specified? Is the syntax correct? Do I need the full path? I’ve tried variations but no luck.

$modx_backup_dir = $_SERVER[’DOCUMENT_ROOT’].’/home/terrybar/public_html/_backup/’;

Thank you.

You don’t need to modify the download.php file. It will already look in the modbak folder.

include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/settings.php');

This is the original code and it works fine on my setup.

Anyone? I’m dead in the water.

I’m assuming I have a problem with how the directory is specified. I’m not sure how to express the path.
