[Plugin: myEASYbackup] Dont works

hmmm, not sure its a good idea.

My feeling is that it should be outside the wordpress directory, at the same level, for two reasons:

• when you backup the wordpress directory you do not download all the previous backups
• leaving myeasybackup_data out the wordpress directory will prevent anyone trying to guess the backup file name trying to download it from a browser

However the myeasybackup_data directory should be created, I guess the apache user does not have enough privileges to do so in your setup.

If you confirm that you can manually create the directory where you better like, I can update the code to let you set an option to save the backup path so that everything should work.

Please let me know by email at info [at] myeasywp [dot] com

best regards

Hello,

May be I did wrong but myeasybackup doesn’t work. There is above my header this : ‘Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/ps6eme/www/wp-content/plugins/myeasybackup/meb-config.php on line 10’

Thanks for help

Cheers

Hi Zune,

you did nothing wrong! The problem arises as “safe mode” is enabled on your server.

On my development server I have PHP 5.2.10 running in an Linux/Ubuntu environment.

As stated in the php.ini file:

<br />
; Safe Mode<br />
;<br />
; NOTE: this is considered a "broken" security measure.<br />
;       Applications relying on this feature will not recieve full<br />
;       support by the security team.  For more information please<br />
;       see /usr/share/doc/php5-common/README.Debian.security<br />
;<br />
safe_mode = Off<br />

How to turn off safe mode:

1. Email your hosting company
and ask them if they will turn this setting off for you. It depends on their company policies, if they will comply.

2. Connect to your server via SSH and use an editor such as NANO to edit your php.ini file manually. Once you have the php.ini file open, look for “safe_mode” and change the value to off for this setting like shown on the above example.
Save the file and exit.

I hope this information helps, if you need a clue for a more secure hosting provider please write me at info [at] myeasywp [dot] com

BTW safe_mode is deprecated since PHP 5.3.0 and will not be included in PHP 6
