Domoticz

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?

Domoticz installed fine and ive been using it for a few years. I'll look at the PHP issue thanks!

I installed PHP using XAMPP but still have the problem.

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?

works fine on my win11 machine.
Browser was blocking the download stating it was an unsafe download. (chrome)

ps.
- I have a plain domoticz 2024.7 with python 3.10 running, no extra php or other software running.
- I am always one version behind on this win11 machine.
