Running PMB Backup

aefitteam

We recovered from a curved OS. Made new installation on CentOS & restored PMB. However when making backups we get the below message. Do you have any idea about this issue?

Hi there,

What pmb version, what php and mysql version do you use ?

You should add options to display possible php errors (debugging time only).

You may have write permission missing on backup directory.

Or, after changing server you may have now basic settings for php/mysql.

 

But, some parameters (php.ini, mysql.ini) need to be set to minimal values for PMB.

The most important ones :

my.ini : 

max_allowed_packet: can be 16M for a small database, but more is needed for a larger one.

To debug , better to set large values. Later, you can adjust it according to you real needs.

Same value to set at two sections of my.ini file:

(mysqld ) max_allowed_packet = 512M 

(mysqldump) max_allowed_packet = 512M 

php.ini:

some important parameters (may vary according to your php version) :

(Large value for debugging)

max_execution_time = 600

memory_limit = 512M 

upload_max_filesize = 512M

max_input_time = 600

post_max_size = 512M
