Support

Hi Nicholas,

I am using the frontend-backup. Everything works fine with 3.0.a1.1. 'Today I have installed 3.0.a5.1. Since this moment, the frontend-backup does not work any more. This means, that no backups are created. In my tmp-directory a file named akeeba_storage.php is created - and that's it. Nothing else.

In my cronjob-messages I can see a difference between the two versions.

With 3.0.a5.1 I get a message which contains this string:
Set-Cookie: fc19eb00eab0ed923fdb97149b70db01=16bae7b48179bbffc1cb577fc3576d07;
path=/

With 3.0.a1.1 I get the same string plus the additional information, that cookies have been deleted:
Set-Cookie: 30404400cb44e45a3c59a688f4fc2df8=6a3df7142c04cda8299e8c4269aff4d0;

Can you help me or do you have any idea, what to change to get it working again?

Thanks for your support!

Best regards,
Uwe

I don't have any ideas on this one, I'll flag it for Nicholas.

Hi Dale,
thanks for flagging this to Nicholas.
Is there any place wherer to download the previous versions? Unfortunately I have not stored 3.0.a1.1.

There are several back versions on the JoomlaCode site, but it doesn't go back to 3.0.a1.1. I couldn't find that version. I would have a hard time recommending going that far back on an alpha series release. You are probably better off to wait for Nicholas to figure out why the current release doesn't work for you.

Nicholas,

thanks for you support. The command line is:

http://www.nz.socomso.com/index2.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&key=mysecretword&format=raw

The logfile I have attached. The only console message I get, is:

I hope that this helps you to navigate in the bad weather ;-)TEXT

Sorry Nicholas - of course I know about these issues. And of course I have read the documentation.

But I have an Akeeba-installation running on another domain (same provider, same server, same host) with exactly the same front-end-backup URL - and it works perfectly well. The only difference is, that I have not updated this installation to 3.0.a5.1 and do still run 3.0.a1.1.

If you cannot see a solution here, it would help me also, if you could provide me with the "old" 3.0.a1.1-files. Unfortunately I cannot find them any more on my Client.
