I've gone over and over it but cannot see where I am going wrong.

Can I borrow your head for 5 minutes Ryan?

Will you give it back?

Where have you uploaded the script and what command did you put into the cron job?

#102

I uploaded the script to the root directory. I ran this command in the cron job - /home/username/backup/backupscript.sh

I've taken my username out for obvious reasons. Today I did not even get an email but I did alter the file yesterday.

Would you like to check it out for me please?

The root directory? You didn't upload the backup inside the public_html folder, did you? It needs to be outside of that folder...the /backup/ folder needs to be the same place that /public_html/ is.

I got the following error:

Quote:

/home/bdsdfip/backup/backupscript.sh: line 54:
home/bdsdfip/backup/dbbackup_1.sql.gz: No such file or directory
mysqldump: Got errno 32 on write

I got the reply from my host as follows:

The problem should be within your script, please ask your developer to audit your backup script.

I don't know what to make out of this.

I just checked, it's not my root folder. I have it on the same directory as the public_html folder is, after you click on file manager I have it in that directory there. I just don't understand where I have gone wrong.

Not sure what to tell either of you, and again maruf:

Hey , I am changed hosts to Site 5 and I am not sure of their cron job set-up. It is not like the regular cPanel one. Ryan you used to host there maybe could you explain it a bit to me?

#108

By Ryan on 08-06-2006, 07:43 PM

It's the same general idea, just not laid out exactly like cPanel...I dunno how to explain it without seeing it in front of me either. You could take a screenshot if you'd like and I can point out what you need to know...but it also shouldn't be too hard to figure out on your own

I am with site5 too, what do you want to know?
