Admin Database Backup

[heatherbell]

This could be specific to our host but Admin>Tools>Database Backup - click Backup gives:
Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/gzip) is not within the allowed path(s): (//:/dev/urandom) in//admin/backup.php on line 440
Warning : file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/zip) is not within the allowed path(s): (//:/dev/urandom) in //admin/backup.php on line 441

After some research we found that this error is 'fixed' by changing, from Line 16 in /admin/backup.php, to:

Code: Select all

  // define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', '/usr/bin/gzip');
  define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', 'gzip');
  // define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', '/usr/bin/gunzip');
  define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', 'gunzip');
  // define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', '/usr/bin/zip');
  define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', 'zip');
  // define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', '/usr/bin/unzip');
  define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', 'unzip');

This seems to work for us but maybe this is not the right way to fix it?

Nothing to do with PhoenixCart version, same issue for us on all recent versions - it is an issue with our host server.
I only posted in case it helps anyone else who encounters the same issue or anyone else has a better fix.
