Automatic backup is this possible

[ehcpdeveloper]

run this on console:
/etc/init.d/apparmor stop

then retry operation
if apparmor is loaded, then you cannot write to some files even if you are root...
i hope this helps..if not, let me in by ssh

ps aux | grep php

the ehcp.log just shows the daemon loop numbers nothing else

this is the output from the backup:

if i use the backup-script as it is in ver.0.29.13
it is creating the backupfile but with 0 content(empty.

something i understand wrong?

do i have to change this ?:
$whattobackup="files,mysql"; # you may also include ehcp's files here..

make sur your ehcp daemon is running normally, check using
ps aux | grep php

can you please send ehcp.log changes while you do backup ?
tail -f /var/log/ehcp.log

found the typo. here is the script how i use it.

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

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



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

$backupname='mybackup'.date('Y-m-d-H-m-i');
$whattobackup="-files,-mysql"; # you may also include ehcp's files here..

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

echo "hope finished... ";
?>

most important is:
$whattobackup="-files,-mysql"; //the "-" was not set in your script!!!

and....happy again!

you are absolutely right. thankyou for this bug report.
i will fix it here also, in ehcp sources that is downloaded by everyone.
you learned php/ehcp coding now

how did you find it, i mean php coding style of ehcp ? almost anything in classapp.php, a single class ?

yes...just searched for the definition. i use ehcp for i think close to 3 years now and i´ve read all the code so i know it was in classapp.

i can read and understand coding but never have learned coding by my self and now as a 53 years old farth it´s hard to find the time to do it.
but you do it in a smart way!!!

For the new versions of ehcp where the ehcp config files are under /var/www/new

you have to edit the backup script accordingly:

include_once("/var/www/new/ehcp/config/dbutil.php");
include_once("/var/www/new/ehcp/config/adodb/adodb.inc.php");
include_once("/var/www/new/ehcp/classapp.php");
