Backup Data problem
July 09, 2007, 01:08:32 pm
I'm having problems backing up my data.  I use the standard "Backup Data" function, however, the file that it outputs gives me 1kb on junk information - nothing is actually backed up.  Has anyone else had this problem / know what is going on?

I have attacked the file, renamed with a .txt extension.

I am running CiviCRM 1.7.9821 on PHP 5.2 with MySQL 5.0.41

1. what are the contents of the junk file? (update: just saw the attacment and it seems like a 1 character file)

2. did u set the MYSQL path in your settings file: (i'm pretty sure u did and it found the file)

define( 'CIVICRM_MYSQL_PATH', '/opt/local/bin/' );

3. You might also want to try debugging the code at:

CRM/Core/BAO/DomainDump.php (function backupData) and seeing what the code does etc. Adding a print statement to see the current output and an exit will probably help you detect and debug the issue quickly

I had a similar problem with civicrm's backup data utility. Whenever I used it, my browser would try to load up this huge file containing weird characters. It never gave me an option to download a .gz file or a .txt file. The error I received was:

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/DomainDump.php:2) in /var/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/DomainDump.php on line 129.

I resolved this problem by getting rid of the extra blank line before '<?php' and after the ending '?>' inside 'CRM/Core/BAO/DomainDump.php'. After that, all was well. Hope this helps. :)
