Unable to create scheduled backup
Unable to create scheduled backup
I tried to create a scheduled backup through Webmin, and I wanted to select the backup destination as a local file. So when I click the '...' box, I get a popup with an error in it:
Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
Does anyone have any thoughts? This still isn't working for me
Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
After viewing the chooser.cgi file it was referencing, I showed number lines in vi, and found this section around line 192 that it references.
I'll be the first one to say I am a novice when it comes to coding, so I don't know what to look for in line 192.
EDIT: I can invoke this error also by going to Webmin > System > Filesystem Backup, and then clicking on the browse box in here. The error references the same choser.cgi file
Code: Select all
187 if ($f eq "..") {
188 $dir =~ /^(.*\/)[^\/]+\/$/;
189 $link = "<a href=\"\" onClick='parentdir(\""."e_javascript($1)."\"); return false'>";
190 }
191 else {
192 $link = "<a href=\"\" onClick='fileclick(\""."e_javascript("$dir$f")."\", $isdir); return false'>";
193 }

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
Does updating Webmin help with this issue?
Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
I am on the most current Webmin version, 1.700
Also I tried Firefox and IE, and received the same errors in both browsers

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
Where in Webmin do you try to create a backup?
Under system -> Filesystem backup ?

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
I've noticed two places in Webmin where I've tried to make a local backup, and I get the aforementioned error:
System > Filesystem Backup
and
Webmin > Backup Configuration Files - trying the Local file option

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
Did you do some customization to E.F.A. ? (as you are running version 1.7.00 for Webmin I guess that you did something different as it should be 1.660)
Also what image are you running, Hyper-V or the VMware image (and updated from 3.0.0.1 or plane 3.0.0.5 image?) or build from source?
I tried on a number of systems but all seems to work correctly on any of my hosts.
Note that the Webmin > Backup Configuration Files - is useless as it only backup's webmin config's and not any system file's.

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
The only customization I did, was when I logged into Webmin for the first time, it prompted me that I was running an older version of Webmin (1.660) and an update is available (1.700), so I ran the update, and that seemed to work fine. I did not try using the backup option before upgrade Webmin versions.
I am running the VMware image, loaded new from the 3.0.0.5 image.

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
So I'm not sure what changed between versions, but an upgrade for Webmin was available today to upgrade from 1.700 to 1.710. So I went ahead and upgraded. Once the upgrade was done, I went into System > Filesystem Backup > And click on the [...] button, and am able to select directories now.
Problem solved

Re: Unable to create scheduled backup
Good
I had it replicated on a test machine but didn't had a fix for it yet (no time to search... )
Probably a bug in 1.700.
