SnapShot Pro already saved my live… :) But, uploading via

Hello,

SnapShot Pro already saved my live… :slight_smile:

But, uploading via ftp does not work. I have created a destiantion on one of my ftp servers. Connection tests OK.

After creating and zipping the backup I get this log entry:

2015-03-01 13:10:37: rename: backupZipFile[/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/die4Dwerkstatt_Blog/wp-content/uploads/snapshots/_backup/1419969398/snapshot-backup.zip] backupZipFileFinal[/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/die4Dwerkstatt_Blog/wp-content/uploads/snapshots/snapshot-1419969398-150301-121014-54811330.zip]

The archiv stays local – the transfer did already work, I don’t can figure out why it stopped.

    Hi, Peter!

    Let’s do a quick and simple test first, and see which version of PHP you’re using on your server.

    There’s a chance it’s an older version that is incompatible with Snapshot. If that’s the case, a friendly note to your host gently encouraging them to update is usually all that’s needed.

    Let me know the version number for PHP that comes up when you run the test I linked above.

    Thanks, Peter! And thanks for the nice words about Snapshot. :slight_smile: I’ll be sure to pass them on to the dev.

    Hi there @peterinwiesbaden,

    Sorry the response took a while longer than expected. Appreciate your patience. Looks like Michelle is really busy and this one slipped through the gaps, I’m gonna take the liberty of chipping in here.

    This looks like a case of the memory running out during the FTP operation. Snapshot works with files – it writes your backup locally and zips it. If the unzipped data exceeds what your server allows you to do, it fails.

    You can use the following methods to increase the limits:

    Add to theme’s functions.php at the top.

    @ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '100M' );
    
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '100M');
    
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );

    php.ini (in your site’s root folder, change php.ini with these values, if php.ini does not exist, you can create it in your site’s root)

    upload_max_filesize = 100M
    
post_max_size = 100M
    
max_execution_time = 300

    .htaccess (if running on Apache)

    php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
    
php_value post_max_size 100M
    
php_value max_execution_time 300
    
php_value max_input_time 300

    I’d try it in that order and try to avoid having to modify .htaccess.

    Also please add/modify this line in your wp-config.php:

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2048M' );

    Let us know if this solves your issue.

    Cheers

    Jude
