Backup not working on PC

Post by SilverShaded »

Hi, when i try and manually backup the database, it saves a php file with zero bites instead. This is on windows 10 and 11.

This probably means that php files are downloaded instead of being executed (and backup is driven by a php file).

To fix it, you have to add PHP on your machine, and set your web server properly.

Did you got some errors when installing Domoticz?

Did you tell your web server it can use PHP?

Is Domoticz running on a windows server or on a linux (eg Raspberry Pi)?
And is the client running on windows? What browser do you use?
Domoticz running on Udoo X86 (on Ubuntu)
