Perch backup
Currently running on Perch 2.8.4 and wish to update to latest version. In the Backup screen I get green ticks for Files and MYSQL database backup.
When I select to Backup database and entire CMS folder, the screen goes blank. This is the only option for which it does this.
Any idea why?
If the screen is going blank you have a PHP error.

But this doesn't seem to be about running an update but instead using the Backup app? If the Backup App doesn't work for you you could just backup via your hosting control panel.
Thanks. I have done a backup via cpanel but would like to get the app working as it should. This is the last error in the php log:
Im not sure what this means. My config/apps.php looks like this:
and my runtime.php looks like this:
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Does the file
perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/runtime.php
exist?Yes, it does exist
Ok - that error is very old, so perhaps it's been fixed since.
OK thanks but Im still having the issue - the backup app gives a blank screen when I try to backup database and entire CMS folder.
That could be you hitting a memory limit. Are you able to backup by other means?
Yes and I already have. I will look at the memory issue and report back. Thank you
Ok the administrator doubled the memory size - so the backup app is now working fine.
Thank you!
