Topic: 5.6 backup / restore

[Graeme Fleming]

Hi all

I am playing around with 5.6b7 and tried to restore my smserver.tgz backup file (about 60MB) from my 5.5 box.  When I have selected the file and clicked on the proceed button the page disappears and I get a HTTP 403 error.

Any thoughts?

Same here - it looks like backup scripts broke with my 5.6b7 install (actually, the daily backups work fine, it seems to be just the web interface to manage them) - here's the admin error log I see:

I'm no perl coder - suggestions on how to fix this would be welcome.

Have you loaded the backup updates to 5.6b7?

ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/dev/5.6dev/updates/e-smith-backup-1.10.0-01.noarch.rpm

Aha!  Thank you, that did the trick!  Web access and config work again - wonderful

Yes, but it looks like perhaps they didn't apply correctly - will reapply and respond.

TIA
