 * Wotnow,
 * I don’t think I have ever encountered what you’re describing. Would you want 
   to arrange a time for me to have a look at the admin area of your site? I would
   really need to look at it first hand to get an idea of what is going on.
 * Thanks

 * dmeek,
 * That is a real answer, the problem you’re experiencing is beyond my control.
 * Do you know if your server has php errors turned on or is recording them to a
   log (ex. error_log … etc). If I could see the message that PHP is dying on, I
   might be able to provide a little more insight.
 * Thanks,

 * This is because you web host has not properly configured the ZipArchive package
   in PHP. You need to use a web host that supports the PHP ZipArchive library and
   has enough resources for your server account (ram and disk space).

 * This is a permissions issue on your server, but not with the storage folder. 
   Try setting 0755 for the entire wp-plugins/wp-complete-backup/ folder path. If
   that doesn’t work, try setting it for the whole plugins folder (don’t worry, 
   that is what the permissions should be anyway). You shouldn’t have to give anything
   0777 permissions.

 * John Montgomery,
 * I respondeded to you via email because wordpress.org was blacked out for the 
   SOPPA protest when I responded.
 * You need to open the archive with WinRaR or 7-ZIP. Sometimes the native windows
   zip utility doesn’t like to open archives that have base paths in them, especially
   on 64 bit operating systems. The archive however, is not corrupted, at least 
   not the one you sent to me.

 * DanDawson,
 * The SQL dump file that you are looking for is in the filpath that you referenced,
   within the zip file that you referenced. After a backup completes, all copies
   of the database that are not in the archive are removed for security purposes.

 * ParaduxMedia,
 * Please try using WinRaR or 7-ZIP to unzip with. The native Windows zip utility(
   depending on the OS ver) doesn’t always like zip files that have been created
   by ZipArcive on Linux.

 * John,
 * Can you send it to [support@mycodetree.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codetree/replies/support@mycodetree.com?output_format=md)?
   If it’s too big for email could you try dropbox or something?
 * You might be hitting a memory limit on the server too, if the backup is exceptionally
   large.

 * Not having PHP5 is what was tripping you up. Once you upgraded to PHP5, everything
   should be fine.

 * John,
 * Would you be willing to let us look at the .ZIP file that the plugin is creating
   for you?
 * The plugin creates the ZIP archive based on the ZipArchive class that is *usually*
   compiled into PHP by most web hosts that support PHP.
 * As you can imagine, there are a variety of things that could affect a successful
   ZIP file being created.
 * If the script timeout setting is to low, the ZIP archive may not be finishing
   and not completing a valid archive.
 * One thing that you could try is to increase the script_timeout directive in PHP,
   if your web host allows you to do that.
 * In version 4.0 due out sometime this year, we’ll include an option to adjust 
   script_timeout via ini_set() (still not a guarantee that web hosts’ will support
   ini_set).
 * Thanks,

 * Sheiksae,
 * When I go to naeementerprise.com I see your website just fine. Additionally, 
   when I try your admin page, WP is asking me to upgrade your database (and is 
   giving me the feature to do so). I think you have some other problems with your
   site that you should look into first.
 * However, in the future if you run into a plugin that causes your site not to 
   load after you install it; FTP into the plugins folder of your website and delete
   the folder of the offending plugin. If the plugin was truly the cause of the 
   issue, deleting the folder should restore functionality.
 * Thanks,

 * Charrabennett,
 * Pages and posts are stored in the database. If you look In the user’s guide under
   the, “restore database” section, it will explain how to restore the database.
   You can load the user’s guide by clicking the “green book” icon in the plugin
   settings menu.
 * By uploading the backup and restoring, you are restoring the filesystem and unpacking
   the database, you have one more step to complete to restore the actual database
   itself, explained in the user’s guide.
 * Please let us know if you need further assistance.

 * pdenbigh,
 * Are there any PHP errors displayed? Does your server have the ZipArchive library
   compiled in PHP?

 * bformhals,
 * In order for the plugin to work, it requires your web host to have the PHP zip
   library installed on the server. Most PHP web hosts have this library installed
   and is ultimately why we chose to use it.
 * You have highlighted an area that we can improve however, telling users of this
   issue if the plugin detects that the zip library is not present.
 * In the meantime, if you want to consider moving to a new web host that has the
   PHP zip library installed, we recommend [HostGator.com](http://secure.hostgator.com/~affiliat/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=rthcon)
