Try changing the permissions on the relevant directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777.

Thank you. Will give it a try soon. Having never seen anything php related 4 days ago to all of this is a big leap lol. Should be apps for everything 😀
isnt there an option to change All directories at once or something?
since this included
“Database
Themes
Plugins
Uploads”
I assume its a bunch of changes that needs to be made?
I brought up the ftp, looked up right clicked on wp-content folder clicken on “file attributes” (I assume its called that on english) and there I saw the “numerical value” which was 755, I tried changng it to 766 and included all the sub directories but no luck apparently.
edit*
After I right click and change it and it seems to change all the sub directories which takes a while, when its done I right click on the wp-contect and it says 755 Again right away
OMG I finally did it lol. 777 worked. hell yes (775 worked also)
when I changed each folder myself the theme,plugins it worked
Now the problem is back. Its timing out when I press download. Internal server error bla bla.
Any other program that might do the same? With the same simple One rar file download?
tried the “EZPZ One Click Backup” 5 starts but an error shows up Right away
or any ideas how to rpevent the timeout since the program was awesome for the short time it worked.
I tagged this post ‘pressbackup’ so the dev should be notified. Which is the right way to go about things. FYI if you post about this in unrelated threads again, I’m just going to delete those posts. Please be a considerate person. You’d be peeved if someone derailed this topic like I’m doing now. 😉
You may need to increase your PHP memory allocation. A timeout like that implies that the file is really big – perhaps too big for you to download.
Im not a patient guy thats my problem lol. But yes I will keep to my own threads.
Since I dont upload stuff on my website but pretty much just link things I dont think it could be too big?
And I only hijacked someones thread when I thought they had already gotten their answer 😉
how do I increse the “PHP memory allocation” ? and what does it do? Im really afraid of messing things up lol. (I will google it now also)
no respponse yet from the creators but I have sent them a email before and they responded to that so. I guess I just have to …..wait.
Im afraid something might happen to my site and I have to re do everything.
Since I dont upload stuff on my website but pretty much just link things I dont think it could be too big?
Depends on what pressbackup is backing up, really. Like I mentioned before, I don’t use that plugin.
If you’re on normal (shared) hosting, ask your host what your PHP memory is set to.
I can choose from
Database
Themes
Plugins
Uploads
the thing is the “backup_2011_05_28” I did was 2.5mb big. and the only thing I added is 1 page each day with 8 embeded videos since then 🙂
Oft times the PHP limit is 2megs so, again, go ask your host. You get the theme here? 😉 Go. Ask. YOUR. Host.
“I’m trying to download a 2.5meg file through a PHP app on my server and I get internal server errors. <PASTE the error into the email you send your host>. What is the memory limit in my php.ini set to and is it possible to change it?”
If they can’t/won’t answer this one, then you need a better host.
I think it was “uploads” that was screing me over. And if I skipped that the file was 12mb and the max through a pressbackup upload is 10 mb.
But with just “Database” and “theme” its only 2.5mb.
Now my question is, whats included in database? All my posts and tags and stuff like that? Because plugins I could just re-install if something fucks up..
So if I restore Database/theme how does it look? Do I only have to upload background again, and restore widgets and the plugins Im using and then its good to go again? As in looking like it does now?
Hi TheSweede,
the max upload size is a restriction of your host provider. So ask them to increase that value.
a full backup (database, themes, plugins, and uploads ) is a snapshot of your wordpress instalation at the backup creation time.
When database and theme are restored, you will get your posts, pages, configuration (like permalinks) and all your themes. if the plugins are still there and they were activated at backup creation time, after the restores they will be activated too.
So after the restore, you have to do nothing 🙂
Regards Ivan
Thank you for response.
So Database and theme are pretty much all that I need..
(I might send them a email about the upload thing but if its not a bunch of work after database/theme restore I dont think I will bother)
What do you mean with “if the plugins are still there” though? they can be even though I do not click “plugins” for the backup?
Thanks for a great plugin 🙂
