Automatic backup is this possible

[Arens]

I've been jusing ehcp now for a half year. I'm very happy with this control panel, the control panel can do anything what you expect of a paid control panel like cpanel, plesk. Three days ago I have installed version 0.29. It's working fine. But I was wondering if it is possible to make a automatic backup. Now you can only backup by hand. Can I do this with crontabs? So yes, what command must I use? Or is this an idea for a next version?

Hi,
congratulations for your good experience with ehcp.
I just wrote a small php program that does what you want,
copy following code in a php file, save, then, you may run that file in a cron job,
if you have any further difficulty/help, let me know..

<code>
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

include_once("config/dbutil.php");
include_once("config/adodb/adodb.inc.php"); # adodb database abstraction layer.. hope database abstracted...
include_once("classapp.php"); # real application class



$app = new Application();
$app->requirePassword=false;
$app->initialize();

$backupname='mybackup'.date('YmdHmi');
$whattobackup="files,mysql"; # you may also include ehcp's files here..

$app->daemonBackup('',$backupname,$whattobackup);

echo "hope finished... ";
?>
</code>

Sorry for the late reaction, I was very busy last week. Thank you for your fast reaction, this is what i was searching for. Now I go try to put this in crontabs. On this moment I don't now how but I search for it.

Thank you!

write that code in a php file, for ex ehcpbackup.php

then on console,
chmod a+x ehcpbackup.php

then,
crontab -e

then write/add following line into crontab
*/60 * * * * /pathto/ehcpbackup.php

replace path with real one.
thats all.

normally, ehcp daemon does backup.
if you see this error while you do: tail-f /var/log/ehcp.log

then, your ehcp daemon does not run as root user.
make sure that your ehcp daemon is running as root.

go to console
sudo /etc/init.d/ehcp restart

then repeat/retry backup

if you do backup/restore from cron jobs,
then, you should put your cron in cron of root.

Is this good?
Does he run as root?

i cannot understand from that.
to understand:
ps aux | grep index | grep root

if you see like:
root@yenisunucu:~# ps aux | grep index | grep root
root 9411 0.0 0.6 35020 11688 ? S 19:37 0:00 php index.php daemon


then it is root
if you dont see "php index.php daemon" then, it is not..

I get back this

root 5703 0.0 1.2 27288 12332 ? S 16:09 0:00 php index.php daemon

Then it is root

What is wrong then
