Unable to backup database from UI

Post by peterchef »

Using domoticz version 2024.7 on windows 11 having rebuilt the database following corruption.
The domoticz app is working fine no errors in the log.
When I try to do a backup I get an empty file created called 'backupdatabase.php'. Backup button was working normally before.
Anyone got any ideas ?

Seems to be an issue with your browser settings. Perhaps try another browser?
Check antivirus scanner?

Hi
I tried another browser with the same result. I also tried the browser on a different domoticz installation and that backed up OK.
It just seems to be a problem on the machine where I had to rebuild the database using sqlite3.

I don't know where the backup database script exists.

That backup script is a symbolic link to an hardcoded sqlite3 function in domoticz.
So it must something wrong with either your installation or your browser. Did it work with a previous installation?
