Hi,

Pascal posted on the forum of the bpce_backupbdd extension:

http://projects.ez.no/bpce_backupbdd/forum/general/how_does_this_extension_work

I ask myself the same questions because I can not to run this extension.
Can anyone provide some help?
Thanks in advance

Hi Alain,

Here what I found:

I added this line to /settings/siteaccess/your_siteaccess/cronjob.ini.append.php:

[CronjobSettings]
Scripts[]=workflow.php
Scripts[]=backup_bdd.php   <== this line

and I did a litle script:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/xxxx/public_html/;
/usr/local/bin/php runcronjobs.php -s your_public_siteaccess;
exit 0

which is run by cron (as frequently you want).

In order to get a backup, you have to click on the "Create DB dump" button. This creates a creation.txt file in /var/your_siteaccess/log/. The dump is created only if this file exists
Once the script is run, the dump will be created in /var/your_siteaccess/log/

However, nothing appears in the list of dumps (tab backupbdd).
It's the template design/admin/templates/backupbdd/list.tpl which is supposed to create the list of dumps, but the variable $listebdd (defined in modules/backupbdd/list.php) is empty.
That's where I am ...

Hi,

There is really nobody to look at this quite small file:

http://svn.projects.ez.no/bpce_backupbdd/bpce_backupbdd/modules/backupbdd/list.php

to understand why the variable $listebdd is empty in the template list.tpl ?

The purpose is to obtain the list of the realized dumps such as shows this screen shot:

http://projects.ez.no/var/plain_site/storage/images/bpce_backupbdd/93483-1-eng-GB/bpce_backupbdd.png

I specify that, as shows the screen shot, I am under eZP 4.2.0.

Hi,

The trouble comes from the fact that the extension of the dump name is .gz and not .sql (under Linux - see line 42 of http://svn.projects.ez.no/bpce_backupbdd/bpce_backupbdd/cronjobs/backup_bdd.php)

In the script:

http://svn.projects.ez.no/bpce_backupbdd/bpce_backupbdd/modules/backupbdd/list.php

we have to replace (line 17):

if ($extension != 'sql') continue;

by:

if ($extension != 'gz') continue;

Besides, the script:

http://svn.projects.ez.no/bpce_backupbdd/bpce_backupbdd/cronjobs/backup_bdd.php

needs a little modification because as it is it does not accept mysql data base access password with accents or white spaces.

Replace (line 40):

$command .= "-p$dbpass";

by:

$command .= "-p\"$dbpass\"";

Hi,

Finally, I did a version a little bit enhanced of this useful extension.

Only problem, it is completely in French :-(

The PHP4 and PHP5 versions can be downloaded at the end of the page:
