unable to geta backup - j0lly - 2012-08-14
Hi,
I've tried to use the implemented bakup function for a website archive, but it creates a less than 2kb archive with only the admin, data and plugins empty directory.
i've also try the backup plugin from http:// http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/simple-backups/394/ without any luck.
I'm working on some getsimple sites in alocal xampp (ubuntu) environment; i'll move them on-line later on.
Maybe is a PHP issue, but sounds strange that no1 ask for this as a lot of people use xampp and similar for test env...
Anyway, i have a Ubuntu xampp simple setup (no compiled, no quirky stuff) from ubuntu repository.
Thanks for any help that can be provided to point me in the right direction.

I can't help exactly, but I have the experience that some file-related functionalities don't work in local environments
I can assure you that backup works out of the back after an install on a "real" server (I work with more than 20 GetSimple Installations and backup always worked)
to be really sure, why not run a test install at your server / host? It takes just 5 minutes ;=)

Try turning debug on and see if anything is throwing errors.

yes.
Read the error message. Your local server cannot create zip-files, as the zip-functionality is not installed.

health check tells you about this, did you check health check ?
It clearly states whats missing.
Its just a php module you have to compile with or add to your apache conf.
Not very hard to do.

I already tried to enable the zip module in the apache conf.. but seems that is not compiled with that future... so I have to recompile Apache with that module enabled right? How, to do with a lamp env? How to recompile only Apache?
