BackWPup not working after upgrade

Hello @saynotoupdates, have you tested the latest version 3.0.8?

Kind regards

Hello there.

Following you can do:
– Switch the Compression method for zipping in Settings | Jobs
– In Settings | Jobs many settings for performance, restarts when Inactivity message comes up and so on.

Please try a bit with these settings or upgrade to pro for getting support.

Thanks for your advices, appreciated. I’ve tested all suggestions mentioned in this post, without success – and then decided I’ve spent far enough time on that issue.

I’m happy with version 2.1.17, which runs smoothly (like all previous versions, thanks for that), hence won’t update it anymore. I’m not interested at all in any of the unnecessary new features of further versions.

My purpose is to publish non-commercial content on the web, not to spend ages repairing the mess that unrequested and endless plugin updates brings into our WordPress websites.

I had hoped we would behave differently than the software industry, and understand that the never-ending rush for new junk features is alienating us, diverting our attention from content to container, and in the end driving us straight into the wall.

Maybe I was wrong.

Anyway, I still wish all friendly developpers around here will soon be satisfied with a stable version of their softwares, switch off their computers and get back to true life.

It’s spring – did you notice ?

Best regards.

Guys, this is a simple fix. It just means your server configuration just does not allow HTTP Loopback. All you need to do is open your FTP, edit the WP-Config.php

Add this line Just above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true );

And that is all you need to do. Your BackWPup now works flawlessly.

Hope that helps for others that are looking for a relatively easy solution.

I just got the “white screen” when I tried that fix. I’m getting the (500) error on both manual and scheduled jobs, will not start at all.

BackWPup v3.0.13

Hello,

I’m running backwpup on a wordpress installation with socket connection to mysql. Plugin can “see” the tables, but when the job runs it generates te following errors:

WARNING: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory [01-Dec-2013 09:30:58]
ERROR: Cannot connect to MySQL database 2002: No such file or directory

Any idea how this could/should be fixed?

The displaying of tables will done with the wordpress DB connection.
The Database backup will done with an extra connection. I will lokk if i can find a problem with socket connections.

Sorry, but i can’t find a problem for Socket connections. How does the DB_HOST value looks like?

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘:home/foldername/webapps/mysql/var/mysql.sock’);

permissions to wp-config: 400

i think ther must a / infornot of home because it is a absolute path.
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘:/home/foldername/webapps/mysql/var/mysql.sock’);

well.. with another view seems that “host” is missing :p

localhost:home/foldername/webapps/mysql/var/mysql.sock also is not working

but with

127.0.0.1:home/foldername/webapps/mysql/var/mysql.sock it did!

thanks for your time making this wonderful plugin ??

also working as you mentioned above!

thanks a lot ??

I think the Problem with non host entry i have fixed in next release.

Same error here. Host is localhost.
It worked before, but after upgrading to 3.8 not any more.

Getting this error:

WARNING: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory [21-dec-2013 13:34:44] ERROR: Cannot connect to MySQL database 2002: No such file or directory

This is broken for me as well. I get the same warning message about failure to connect to MYSQL database 2002

Any fix yet?
