error with userbackup after installing Installatron

magis010 · Oct 13, 2022

Hello

After installing Installatron the admin backup no longer work:
/usr/bin/curl returned error code 7
curl: (7) Failed to connect to IPHERE port 21: Connection refused
FTP informatie is ongeldig. (< Means invalid)

The Installatron plugin can push its backups on ftp to the destination

If i set back an backup of the vps the admin backup does work like its intended to do

What is the catch here?

Thanks Alot

Do you have probably /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/ftp_upload.php installed on your server?

Ohm J · Nov 15, 2022

look like you forgot to censor your ftp ip in image on line contains "output: curl:".
if no problem to show your server ips. it fine.

similar thread and possible solution (chmod ftp_upload.php file) here

All backups are not working anymore.

Thanks but i've not any .lock files into any user folder under /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/ etc The provided link on another thread https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=29, forward to...

@johannes,

Actually there is no need to overwrite a custom version of the script with an original one (it is mentioned in the thread you are referring to). It's sufficient to remove a custom version, unless it breaks Installatron. If the the custom version was installed by Installatron. This is what I'd like to understand.

This file is not there but it works if installatron is off or uninstalled once its on it gaves this
* How do i get that file? seems my DA do misses alot of files

zEitEr · Nov 15, 2022

That's OK. You don't need the file. My guess was that Installatron adds this file and it breaks backups.
Do you have anything under /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/? Do you have anything useful in Installatron logs?

Your guess is right installatron breaks the user backups the script backups do work as they have to do but as an extra i am inneed of userbackups as well

So you seem to have the file /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/ftp_upload.php installed. And what is its content?

Well, that's rather weird. I've got this when comparing the original script with yours:

Code:

# cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
# diff --ignore-all-space custom/ftp_upload.php ftp_upload.php
1c1
< #!/bin/sh
---
> #!/bin/bash
7d6
< OS=`uname`;
53,55d51
<     if [ ${OS} = "FreeBSD" ]; then
<         MD5SUM=/sbin/md5
<     else
57d52
<     fi
66,68d60
<     if [ ${OS} = "FreeBSD" ]; then
<         FMD5=`$MD5SUM -q $MF`
<     else
70d61
<     fi
188a180
>

And how will it be on your side?

Code:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
diff --ignore-all-space custom/ftp_upload.php ftp_upload.php

?

If i should see output them this is all i got:

And if you delete the script /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/ftp_upload.php, will the backups start working again?

magis010 · Nov 17, 2022

Nop

ftp_upload.php output: curl: (7) Failed to connect to IPHERE port 21: Connection refused
curl return code: 7
<20:43:01>
Please see this URL and check for curl exit code '(7)': https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=2127

Nope it doesnt push files atleast it does create a folder in the FTP
