Hello everyone.
Here is my problem, if anyone can please help me:
Running, Linux.
I am trying to write a simple backup program to backup the data from a
directory.
The script works from the command line.
But when I try to run the same script from the browser, it doesn't work.
I get this message:
"Data could not be backed up.
Exited with the following message: No such file or directory"
The error logs say:
tar: backup.tar: Permission denied
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Can anyone please help me?
Here is the contents of the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,
$block);
my $command1 = "tar cvf backup.tar members templates reviews";
system($command1);
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,
$block) = stat "backup.tar";
my $DAT_SIZE = $size;
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
if (-e "backup.tar") {
print "<CENTER><H1>Backup
complete.</H1></CENTER><BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE>\n";
print "<H4>We recommend that you download the <BLOCKQUOTE><A
HREF=\"backup.tar\">Data Backup File ($DAT_SIZE Bytes)</A></BLOCKQUOTE>to
your local computer for safe keeping...</H4>\n";
print "</CENTER><BLOCKQUOTE>Note: The backup file (backup.tar) is in
the
same directory as your CGI Programs Data. It is possible that you may not
be able to download it using the link above (.cgi-bin directories will not
allow downloads from them). If you cannot download it with the provided
link, we recommend that you FTP into your server and retreive the file
manually.</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>\n";
}
else {
print "<CENTER><H1>Data could not be backed up.</H1>\n";
print "<H4>Exited with the following message: $!</H4>\n";
}
exit 0;
