Hello! Is great that backup can be made from panel!
I have 3 problems about backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Can this backup run automaticaly once on a week?
2. How can I copy that file on another computer, in case the server dies… Can it be copied automaticaly?
3. Why normal users cannot backup their sites? Only the admin can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a backup function in Ehcp gui now, but not tested much in latest versions of Ehcp+Ubuntu<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been jusing ehcp now for a half year. I’m very happy with this control panel, the control panel can do anything what you expect of a paid control panel like cpanel, plesk. Three days ago I have installed version 0.29. It’s working fine. But I was wondering if it is possible to make a automatic backup. Now you can only backup by hand. Can I do this with crontabs? So yes, what command must I use? Or is this an idea for a next version?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hi,
congratulations for your good experience with ehcp.
I just wrote a small php program that does what you want,
copy following code in a php file, save, then, you may run that file in a cron job,
if you have any further difficulty\/help, let me know..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
include_once(“config\/dbutil.php”); $app = new Application(); $backupname=’mybackup’.date(‘YmdHmi’); $app->daemonBackup(”,$backupname,$whattobackup);<\/p>\n\n\n\n echo “hope finished… :)”; write that code in a php file, for ex ehcpbackup.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n then on console, then, then write\/add following line into crontab replace path with real one. if i use the backup-script as it is in ver.0.29.13 something i understand wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n do i have to change this ?: found the typo. here is the script how i use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #!\/usr\/bin\/env php include_once(“\/var\/www\/vhosts\/ehcp\/config\/dbutil.php”);. $app = new Application(); $backupname=’mybackup’.date(‘Y-m-d-H-m-i’); $app->daemonBackup(”,$backupname,$whattobackup);<\/p>\n\n\n\n echo “hope finished… :)”; most important is: and….happy again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n you are absolutely right. thankyou for this bug report. how did you find it, i mean php coding style of ehcp ? almost anything in classapp.php, a single class ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n yes…just searched for the definition. i use ehcp for i think close to 3 years now and i\u00b4ve read all the code so i know it was in classapp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n i can read and understand coding but never have learned coding by my self and now as a 53 years old farth it\u00b4s hard to find the time to do it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello!
