@tom Thanks

ok thanks, found it.
Unfortunately, no change.
I suspect this has something to do with me running Php 5.2.17 ?

Probably the same problem here. More information:
1. The zip file doesn’t include any SQL dump file.
2. I can’t download the zip file from the dashboard.
3. The error.log file of apache contain next lines:

[Tue Jan 10 13:00:52 2012] [crit] [client 83.101.90.47] (13)Permission denied: /var/sites/www.romanliturgy.org/wordpress/wp-content/backups/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: https://www.romanliturgy.org/wordpress/wp-admin/tools.php?page=backupwordpress
[Tue Jan 10 13:03:13 2012] [crit] [client 83.101.90.47] (13)Permission denied: /var/sites/www.romanliturgy.org/wordpress/wp-content/backups/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: https://www.romanliturgy.org/wordpress/wp-admin/tools.php?page=backupwordpress

4. When I change the permissions of the .htaccess file into -rw–r–r–, the problem is not solved and the previous rights -rw——– are restored after a manual backup.

Just to make things clear, the last version that works without problems is 1.5.1

@trendyweb have you tried to roll back your last working version?

@myblog@0112
Yes, I am running 1.5.1 now.
Anything later gives errors.

@myblog, for those of us who never d’loaded 1.5.1, where can we find a copy to try ? Thx.

@chrjfri

Here we are: Download Page and
Download Version 1.5.1

Thanks myblog ! Will try it and report back.

@myblog. Process has been running for an hour now and seems to just hang there. This is 1.5.1 as suggested. I can email a screenshot if you like.

With version 1.5.1, I can download the zip file from the dashboard, which is already a progress, but I can’t make a backup manually, and no error message is appearing. So, downgrading to 1.5.1 doesn’t solve my problem.

My last backup with 1.5.1 failed as well. It seemed to be running for several hours from what I could see in Filezilla and even started creating the .sql file, said backup is running etc.. When I checked back in to Filezilla this morning it did not show a new entry for 1/10. The last entry is for 1/9 but that was done with 1.6.3 and is less than 1Kb in size. I managed to do a manual backup of the .sql through the GoDaddy host and that one completed well and is 1.3MB in size. Hope you can fix this, manual backups with GoDaddy are a pain. Thanks…

I’ve just released 1.6.4, I’d love an update on whether that resolves the various issues discussed in this thread.

@tom,

thanks for the update and your time solving this issues. Even the message:

BackUpWordPress detected issues with your last backup. Dismiss
zip: The backup file was not created

has now disappeared.

thanks myblog

version 1.6.4 seems to have solved my problems.
I Do not see error messages and the backup was saved succesfuly.

Thank you for all your work!
