Kindly help how to fix this this. I also experienced this problem under myeasybackup 1.06. The create a new data set button is greyed out even though database and files are enabled. When click it to backup there’s no reaction at all.

Fixed!

the problem was in another plugin, wp-e-commerce, showing a warning message that prevented the myeasybackup javascript code to run.

This was the message:

<b>Warning</b>: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/filmdigi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/myeasybackup/js/myeasybackup.js.php:14) in <b>/home/filmdigi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-core/wpsc-constants.php</b> on line <b>17</b><br />

Solution
I changed the “/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-core/wpsc-constants.php” script by adding a @ in front of the session_start command. By doing this the warning message is not issued anymore and I was able to create a backup.

Original code:

if ( ( !is_array( $_SESSION ) ) xor ( !isset( $_SESSION['nzshpcrt_cart'] ) ) xor ( !$_SESSION ) )
    session_start();
}

Modified code:

if ( ( !is_array( $_SESSION ) ) xor ( !isset( $_SESSION['nzshpcrt_cart'] ) ) xor ( !$_SESSION ) )
    @session_start();/* edited by camaleo, July, 4, 2011: added '@' to avoid warning messages to be shown and break other plugins */
}

I suggest to get in touch with the wp-e-commerce author in order to verify that everything can properly work after this modification.

Also, he should amend his code so that, future updates, will not break myeasybackup (and possibly other plugins) code.

@dinoraptor101 are you also using wp-e-commerce? if not most probably you are using another plugin issuing a session_start(); command in an improper way.

Hi,

Thanks for your proposed solution. I am wondering, is this @ to just prevent the error message? Or is it an actual fix of the problem itself?

Thx zigmob

No it’s a workaround that you should modify manually…

there must be an update ASAP to force loading the JavaScript for the backup properly; I do not use wp-ecommerce and I still faced the same problem.
