ERROR: Signal "SIGTERM" is sent to script!

  • Hi There!

    I’m loving your plugin, and used it for many years.

    Having an odd problem on one of my sites. In short, whilst I can run a backup of everything within the database, I’m having an odd problem with my Files based backup.

    I am unable to backup the uploads folder. My error is “ERROR: Signal “SIGTERM” is sent to script!”.

    Any ideas? It appears to only be working on this domain on this server, but other installations on the same server are working fine.

    Thanks!

  • I can run DB only OK (One click backup OR job), but Files + DB always seems to fail/have errors. I have read thru the comments here and have emailed 2 support requests (unanswered). I don’t know why I would want to upgrade to Pro if I can’t get the basic plugin working reliably. And thanks for the def of SIGTERM, but I had already guessed it.

    My results:
    Job 1
    03-30_18-34-51.zip (1.64 GB on SG Server, 1.76 GB downloaded). It had errors:
    ERROR: Signal “SIGTERM” is sent to script!
    [30-Mar-2016 18:38:11] ERROR: Step aborted: too many attempts!
    [30-Mar-2016 18:38:11] ERROR: Job has ended with errors in 200 seconds. You must resolve the errors for correct execution.
    The downloaded zip file opens and appeared to be normal, contained 6228 files and folders, but Zip has Fatal error: 693 when trying to unzip any files.

    Job 2 had Gateway Timeout: The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

    =Reinstalled BackWPup plugin=

    Job 3 had another Gateway Timeout, restarted, ended with ERROR: Job has ended with errors in 962 seconds. You must resolve the errors for correct execution. Zip file created (1.79 GB downloaded) backwpup_356e5d_2016-03-30_19-23-49.zip, 6317 files. Zip file opened and unzipped without error.

    Not sure if I can trust the validity of a backup that ended with errors (# files).

    I have a idea to improve the signal handling. So that no erros will be thowen and the script do a restart itf it can. But i need a envoierment for testing it. On our server i don’t have taht problem. If you can setup me a account for testing you can send me the details to d dot huesken at inpsyde dot com.

    Email with login sent.

    I have configured the Maximum execution time to 30 Secounds. now it works ??

    Good to hear this. However, what was then the Maximum script execution time setting doing? It says on the plugin that setting it 0 will set infinite time. Was that wrong?

    Meanwhile, on the site I grant you access the plugin is set to 20s execution site. What is the 30s you said?

    Furthermore, do you suggest we keep the server load at minimum?

    Just dropping by to thank the contributing parties in this thread. A goldmine in understanding this error that occasionally shows up.

    Daniel, I’m afraid after your adjustments I’m still getting errors, though this time it’s a different error code. Today’s log is below.

    No luck … Database and XML backup works. There’s no way to complete the ~200MB file upload to Dropbox.

    I’ve tried the signal plugin and setting the Reduce server load to the minimum.

    P.S. = my hosting is Siteground and they tell me there’s no issue from them

    I will make a beta soon that can be tesed and i hoppe that make thinks with the singnal handling better.

    This plugin works fine for some of my sites, but I get that SIGTERM error on others.

    Wish there was a backup plugin that just WORKED – I’m over it.

    @worthdesigning: Sorry, but that is mostly limitations of the Hosting and not the Plugins. The Plugins try to bypass this limitations if they can.

    Sorry, but that is mostly limitations of the Hosting and not the Plugins.

    It is not possible to accept this excuse becuase it basically says some hosts cannot run a backup plugin.

    The infamous SIGTERM error almost always occurs when the plugin is compressing the backup ZIP file or when uploading the file to Dropbox. If the above quote was true it meant some hosts cannot run a ZIP compressor or cannot upload to Dropbox. Any Linux environment is able to do either of these activities.

    This plugin has 400K installs. I feel that it is the author’s moral responsibility to make sure that such issues are solved and not left lingering for months.

    For my part I had been in direct contact with the author and supplied him full access to a VPS and websites running on it in order for him to debug the issue. He still needs more environements to test though.

    Please help him if you can by offering access to a host that errs.

    Thanks for that.

    The free plugin is no longer available. Plugin page is now redirected to the paid Pro version page and the support page of the plugin gives 404.

    Has this plugin now turned commercial only?

    Hmm indeed, I cannot find the plugin anymore in the repository… why?
