I am trying to backup Magento files and database backup using System-> Tools -> Backups. Database backup is created fine, but when I try to backup the system files using "System Backup" , it throws an error and not creating backup. This is the error I am getting when I click "System Backup" button.

"An error occurred while creating the backup"

In system.log

2014-01-29T11:57:45+00:00 ERR (3): Notice: Undefined index: httponly  in /app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php on line 94

  • You should have an exception logged in var/log. This is the general error message for when the backup fails.

  • Make sure the log is enabled. There should be something in there because this line is above the message Mage::log($e->getMessage());

  • @Marius: error log is enabled in "developer" section already.

  • Damn...This is very strange indeed. I was sure that there should be an error message logged. I have no other ideas.

I'm facing exactly the same problem with you.

What I'm doing is changed the PEAR file permissions to 755 (public_html/lib/PEAR).

To change the PEAR file permissions, I need to go thru my File Manager on hosting cpanel.

I have no idea why i cannot change the PEAR file permissions thru FTP.

It give me "550 Could not change perms on PEAR: Permission denied".

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.
