Hi!

Testing in WP 222. After successfully saved options, BackupWordpress tab shows a warning message:

Warning: array_multisort(): Argument #1 is expected to be an array or a sort flag in
wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/manage_backups.php on line 817
No Backups yet.

I installed the plugin, set some options and then manually started a full backup. 2 hours later it was still working away and nothing was created. Any ideas what is going on?

Great idea, but after activation I get this:

Warning: require([…]wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in […]wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/manage_backups.php on line 815

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘[…]wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear/php5′) in […]wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/manage_backups.php on line 815

Deletign the plugin was not posible via FTP, it was only possible via the admin tool of my provider…

Roland,

Thanks. it backs up SQL onlynow, however I get the message “Failed to copy” when I do a ‘full backup’.

As well I cannot edit the backup presets now as I would prefer ZIP files. When I click EDIT on any of the default presets the icon just spins and spins. Using WP2.2.2

Thanks!

Mike

Roland,

I completed all the steps and I still have the same issues.

I am downloading the version that is at the top of this page. Is there another area I should be downloading a newer version?

Thanks for your promt feedback! I have already switched to 2.2.2, but there’s no class-phpmailer.php in my installation.
But it’s included in the complete WP 2.2.2 download… I wilt try to solve that and will start again.

Hey, Nice plugin! I really look forward to it maturing although already it seems to be working quite well.

@emeff,
be sure, to get all the files you need to upgrade to 2.2.2! I recomment upgrading with subversion: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion

Just came in to check and version .1.2 is the only downloadable one. I’ll try back in a couple hours.

0.1.3 is out now. @mike: you should be able to work with presets now.

I installed your new piugin version

I am still getting a blank page when I click on the plug in on the dashboard.

@Computer Mike,
can you tell me about your WordPress version and maybe some phpinfo() facts?

Hi Roland,
It is just an amazing tool! great job !

I have installed it on 2.1.1 by modifying php.mailer location.
seems working, I have tested the scheduled dump and a full dump with exclude list. it’s working just fine! presets are also working .

Things that are not working:

download buton:
Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /xxx/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/functions.php on line 277
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /xxx/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/functions.php:277) in /xxx/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/functions.php on line 289-290-291-292-293-294

it is not a p1 issue

Thanks again.

HI,
I picked up 0.1.4 and tested it out. I am still getting the failed to copy error on manual backup for a full database.

I am on godaddy hosting if that matters any.

One thing I notice is the ‘failed to copy’ message moves from cell to cell each time I try a backup. IE. it will show up in Date/Time cell first, then move to Type if I try again. Each subsequent trial moved the message to the right one cell until the final cell below Action. There it stays if I keep trying.

If there is any other way I can help, let me know.

Mike

Hi,
This seems like a great plugin, and it looks like its working… BUT…
I haven’t yet upgraded to 0.1.4.beta, - still on 0.1.3, and my problem is this:

* The backup goes on for hours. When I look at the server via ftp, it looks like every file has been backed up, but on Wordpress, it still say “Creating backup, please wait”. I guess this is an error? It would be a nice feature to be able to see in real time what file the plugin backs up. Now, I don’t have a clue what the plugin is doing at the moment, other than “creating backup”.

* When I use advanced mode and set which folders that I don’t want to back up, the plugin still backs up these folders. A bug too?

Any way I can fix this myself?

Knut

Roland,

Yes I am getting those temp directories. If you can post when a new version is up I’ll download it and test it.

Cheers,

Mike

Just installed and activated the plugin and the first click on the BackupWordPress tab gives this error:

Call to undefined function sajax_show_javascript()

Pls. advice…

Also, after uploading, in the plugins section, it says it’s version 0.1.4, not 0.2.1 in the link above.. I can’t get this to work at all. I’m on my forth reload now.

Sorry guys, this was a SVN update problem. I just was so tired and went to bed, leaving out the last check. I’ll get that one fixed as soon as possible.

@Chris, @Claus,
What WordPress version are you using? Have you updated BackUpWodPress to the newest release 0.2.1?

@Roland: WP 2.2.2, BackUpWordPress 0.2.1

@Roland WP 2.2.1 german BWP 0.2.1
and some plugins

regards

@Roland:

updated to the newest version 0.2.1 and it tries to resume from a previous backup, however it seems to get stuck on “/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/images/hr.gif” which seems odd, as it is a tiny file.

please help?

thanks in advance!

@Graham,
please be patient. It’s not stuck, the plugin does every task in batches of 100 files/datasets. So what you see is the last resume marker.

At this point, there is triggered a schedule for the resume, but BackUpWordPress will wait for the length of max_execution_time, or, if that value can’t be retrieved for 30 seconds, otherwise it may interfere with a running backup working on a really large file.

You know, you shouldn’t have really large files within your WordPress installation

However, the resume scheduled triggered is depended on at least some action on the site, so, in an offline environment or an offline test installation, you need to hit you site a few times, to activate the resume.

no problem its a pleasure to help you.

regards.

@ovidou,

I started working on BackUpWordPress before scriptaculous was built into WordPress. The next release of BackUpWordPress will hace sajax removed and utilize sciptaculous instead.

I’m on the hunt and quite sure to be able to release a bug fix for that issue within the next 24 hours!

Feedback to post 6. & 7.
I’ve just added ‘class-phpmailer.php’ and no it works perfectly. THANK YOU.

I’m suprised of the size of my first manuell backup: 16MB and curious if the automated backup will run…

i will do some testing here, focused on the plugins, later. Maybe i can figure out which one leads the the problem.

I am a different Chris and never got a responce to my two questions- When trying to manually backup, after hitting the ‘BackUp WordPress Now’ button, I get the following error message:

Line: 516
Char: 5
Error: Could not get the display property, invalid arguement.
Code: 0
URL: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=backupwordpress/backupwordpress.php
##############################################
Also, after uploading, in the plugins section, it says it’s version 0.1.4, not 0.2.1 in the link above.. I can’t get this to work at all. I’m on my forth reload now.

@ chris,
please use the support forum I just created. Same server, same plugin set you say? strange… But I am sure it is a javascript problem…
Anyway, let’s work it out here: http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backupwordpress-sajax-issue-1

@suleiman,
well, it should, I think. Why not try it out? And please tell me what results you got pluggin’ BackUpWordPress into WordPressMU

Running version 0.2.2 in Advanced Mode in WP 2.2.2 running IE7.

On the main page of the plugin (BackUpWordPress), when clicking the “BackUp WordPress Now >>” button with full backup selected (didn’t try sql only yet), it generates a JavaScript error and doesn’t do anything. The error is:

Line: 484
Char: 5
Error: Could not get the display property. Invalid argument.
Code: 0
URL: http://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=backupwordpress/backupwordpress.php

It works fine in Firefox. I will try 0.2.3 a bit later but from reading what you wrote about the changes, not sure this would be resolved. Thanks for a very interesting and useful plugin.

Just gotta say thanks!! Plugins like this are incredibly useful!

@John,
thank you very much! And thank you for tracing the javascript error to IE7. I’ll have a check asap for what display property this one wants to get and can’t retrieve…

@David,
Thanks for you feedback! I actually want to integrate that feature into the exclude-lists. You will be able to add something like “crawlt” for all the Bot Tracker Statistics tables.

The feature will be in the next release.

@Tony,
How About BackUpWP? I chose that name, because outside WordPress just Backup would be not specific enough. I’ll think of a screen resolution detection and a pieve of code, that would abbrevate the plugin’s name

Isaac, thanks for your feedback!
class-phpmailer.php is actually a class that comes with WordPress since version 2.2.0.
On line 24 of wp-email.php, which is the main file of the WP-Email plugin you can find the require statement for that class.

Add the following if-statement around it:
if (class_exists(’phpmailer’)) {
require(…);
}

you should also change the path to the file that comes with WordPress and use require_once instead of require.
use: require_once(ABSPATH.”wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php”);

Maybe you would want to notify the author of WP-Email of your changes, I am quite sure these prevent WP-Email to conflict with WordPress or other Plugins for the future.

If you have more support or troubleshooting questions, please consider to use the forum: http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/

Good Luck!

@ovidou,
Yes, I definitely will hav a look at this one
I just have troubles getting into viper007’s forum…
Let’s continue this discussion in the forum.

@otraBarcelona,
Thanks for your feedback!
Could you please use the forum http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ for support an troubleshooting questions?
I’ll see if I can make the error a little bit more descriptive with version 0.2.7.
Fact is, that you webserver cannot send mail via smtp.

Regarding posts 77 & 78. Could not find this discussion in form.

Garett, the lead developer of WeatherIcon, found the problem was in the use of PEAR.
“If WeatherIcon activates first, there is no issue. If BackupWordpress activates first, WeatherIcon won’t activate.”

He has fixed the problem in 2.99.125.

He is running WeatherIcon 2.99.125 and BackupWP 0.2.7 on his site now. http://dev.zy.ca/

version 0.3.1 is released!

First I would like to send out a big thanks for this plugin! It is extremly useful and makes backing up your blog really simple.

How about only including the tables that start with the $table_prefix as defined wp-config.php file in the backup? We are running several wordpress instances within the same database. So currently the backup for each instance contains all tables for all instances and several other non-WordPress-related tables as well.

I changed in manage_backup.php the function bkpwp_mysql to include these lines in the loop:

if(strpos($curr_table, $GLOBALS[’bkpwp_table_prefix’]) !== 0)
continue;

and added the definition of the global at the beginning of backupwordpress.php:

$GLOBALS[’bkpwp_table_prefix’] = $table_prefix;

to include the tables of the current instance only.

Would be great to have something like this included in one of the next releases.

Anyway keep up the good job!

Stefan

I received the following warning after activating the plugin:

“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.kurd/chenpn/chenpn.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-pages/bkpwp_manage_backups.php on line 351″

I went ahead and clicked the BackUp WordPress Now button, and a message says “Creating backup. Please wait.” but I do not see any action being taken. Everything is stationary.

Is something wrong with my theme?

Hi,
I’d love to try it but as I’m using another PEAR based lib (phpFlickR), I can’t.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors() (previously declared in C:\wamp\www\test\wp-content\plugins\backupwordpress\PEAR.php:775) in C:\wamp\www\test\wp-content\plugins\ptalbum\lib\phpFlickr\PEAR\PEAR.php on line 783

@Roland: I don’t even know what to report. And I’ve read the “How to report a bug” thread and didn’t quite understand it (I’m not an IT-savvy person).

So I guess if nobody cannot help me out here, I’d just have to remove the plugin because it isn’t working for me, and I don’t know how to make it work

@Roland: OK, I will give it a try again. Thanks for the more detailed instructions

Since I installed thze new version I always get following error when I try to start a backup:

Backups Verwalten
Your backup is being processed.
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Hallo!
Ich habe das Plugin installiert und folgende Fehlermeldung erhalten:

Speicherverbrauch wird gemessen.
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘-fw’ at line 1]
SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM wp-fw

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/manage_backups.php on line 388

Your Database holds. 0.00 B of Data.
The resulting Backup Archive will be about 0.00 B.

Database Only Backup with this Preset. No Disk Files will be backed up.

Ich hatte auch schon erfolglos ein full-backup gemacht, da gab es Probleme mit den Berechtigungen. Vllt. wäre es gut noch einen chekup einzubauen, der die verweigerten Dateien aus dem Backup ausschliesst.

Sonst bin ich mit dem Plugin mehr als zufrieden.

Hier nochmal die Fehlermeldung für das full-backup:

Warning: opendir(/opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/userpics/tmp) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Keine Berechtigung in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/options.php on line 207

Franky, Roland,

bei mir tritt u.a. auch der “bkpwp-backup-options kann nicht geladen werden”-Bug auf. Andere Bugs habe ich bereits im Forum hinterlegt, z. B. dass gar kein Back-up möglich ist (Fatal Server Error) zumindest auf einem meiner Server und Restore nicht funktioniert.

Ich brauche das Plugin dringend, weil ich auf Backups angewiesen bin. Gerne unterstütze ich. Bei mir laufen die Blogs bei 1und1. Und ja, ich finde es großartige, dass jemand solkch ein Blugin generiert.

Ich schaue jetzt auch im Forum, ob die Diskussion dort weiter geht.

mfg gl

Hallo, ich finde das Plugin super, bloß hätte ich noch ein paar Wünsche -.-
Könntest du bei der E-Mail Funktion anstatt die ganze URL in den Betreff zu schreiben, einfach nur den Namen des Blogs schreiben? Und vorne hin, ob es jetzt das SQL Backup oder das Filebackup ist.. Dies wär äußerst praktisch, und sollte doch nur eine kleine Umstellung der WP-Variblen im Code sein, oder?

Besten Dank schon im Voraus. Gruß, Sixtus.
