standalone, cron and paths messed up, filling tmp space and not clearing | General Questions and Support | Forum Archive

Hi All,

I have configured the standalone app to use the correct paths

/home/user/public_html/XC/administrator/backups/

and have the start path as 

/home/user/public_html/

When I do a manual backup it asks for permissions to

/home/user/public_html/administrator/backups

which doesn't exist and I do not want to have a path in my normal root directory like this.

If I run the cron task, instead of putting the files into 

/home/user/public_html/XC/administrator/backups/

It puts them into /tmp/backups

and then fills my tmp folder without ever removing them, therefore cause cron to fail as the tmp fills and nothing can run correctly.

Any ideas what may be causing this?
