Support

Hi,

We've been using an older version of Unite 3.0.1 with php 7.1 on AWS linux which has been working for us without any issues.

We've upgraded to Unite 5.0.0 and we're now using PHP 7.4 (we have also tested with PHP 8.1), but are getting errors when we try to run the restore command for our Joomla website.

Our xml file for a local JPA file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<unite>
        <siteInfo>
                <package>/tmp/site.jpa</package>
                <deletePackage>0</deletePackage>
                <emailSysop>1</emailSysop>
                <name>MyCompany</name>
                <email>[email protected]</email>
                <absolutepath>/var/www/html</absolutepath>
        </siteInfo>

        <databaseInfo>
                <database name="site">

                        <dbhost>127.0.0.1</dbhost>
                        <dbuser>fakedbuser</dbuser>
                        <dbpass>fakedbpass</dbpass>
                        <dbname>joomla</dbname>

                </database>
        </databaseInfo> 
</unite>

php unite.phar restore -vvv command.xml

The output from unite.phar looks good to start with, but hits an issue with something relating to extracting the tmp file path:

I've added some logging to dump out some information, and the 'job' might not be an array but an object, but I may not be looking at the right thing.

I've tried with extra options in the XML and trying to set things on the command line for tmp files etc, but can't see how to get around this,

The backup we are restoring was created with Akeeba Backup Professional 8.2.1 (2022-10-10).

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Neil

Hi Nicholas,

I've tried the new version and the issue is not occurring anymore.

Thanks for the help.
