Backup Option not available

lgheorghe · 2017-12-31T10:36:11.576Z

I have the same issue with an emonpi I purchased a couple of weeks ago - the backup link doesn’t appear in the Setup dropdown.
Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you.
Liviu

can you send a screen shot of the items in your Setup menu?

this is what I see:

Yes, I still have this problem as well. In fact I had the backup option, and then I logged out and logged back in again and now the backup option is gone.

Try scrolling down in the drop down menu, if it is like mine it will be below administration. It’s as if the menu is too short for all the contents. I use safari and it looks like the earlier poster did too, so could be specific to that.

Yes this totally worked! Thanks!

It worked for me too. Thanks.

In order to reduce potential for confusion of others in the future, I’ve created a pull request to extend the size of this menu to show all rows.

github.com/emoncms/emoncms

Extended menu length to prevent confusion like …

emoncms:master ← CDuffers:extend_menu

opened 09:43PM - 10 Jan 18 UTC

CDuffers

+1 -1

As per the confusion cause here https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/backup…-option-not-available/4698 And also because the scroll bar is not appropriate for such a small menu, I've extended the menu length. Before: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/33792140/34796905-0c9a09da-f64f-11e7-9755-cfa3d38b191b.png) After: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/33792140/34797022-3b8c6256-f64f-11e7-9849-d23956b5b02b.png)

I’m hoping that as it is such a minor change it won’t be long before it is accepted

pomonabill220 · 2019-05-06T05:51:41.678Z

I have been tearing my hair out trying to get a backup. On earlier versions of the firmware, it was there in the Setup drop down, but for the life of me, it is NOT there anymore. No scroll bars in the menu also.
I am running Emonsd-30oct18 and the low write is 9.9.9

I am not a Linux person, so please go easy on me.
I just don’t want to loose my settings as I was going to re-write the SD card with the 30oct18 firmware since maybe it was trashed.

Just a side note… I am getting index.php… invalid API keys in the log now.
There are several keys, and it isn’t clear which one I need to use for the remote loggin… read or write?

Thank you!

borpin · 2019-05-06T09:12:40.725Z

I think this might be because some of the Modules have had the sidebar update added in which are incompatible with the stable branch most folk are on.

You can check if the module is there by

ls -la /var/www/emoncms/Modules/

If backup is listed (as a symlink), then I suspect this is the reason it is not appearing in the menu.

@glyn.hudson can you confirm that this is why this has happened?

You can run a backup manually. If you navigate to the symlinked folder, then go up a level, you will find a script emoncms-export.sh. You can run this from the command line (no sudo required).

./emoncms-export.sh

glyn.hudson · 2019-05-07T17:48:36.829Z

The backup module has a stable branch therefore should not be effected by Emoncms V10 release to master.

@pomonabill220 can you access backup module directly via URL: http://emonpi/emoncms/backup ?

pomonabill220 · 2019-05-10T16:10:08.159Z

First, I want to thank you for your quick response… I have been occupied with a few other things so I wasn’t able to test things out, but I did and this is what happened. I copied what I got in terminal so you can see what is going on.

SO it looks like config.cfg is missing. Don’t know where to look to find it IF there is a copy somewhere, and where would I copy it to?

Thanks for all your help!

Looks like that red sym link should really point to /home/pi/backup/backup-module?

Did the name of the folder change in one of the recent updates?

borpin · 2019-05-12T15:59:41.741Z

Greebo:

Agreed.

Greebo:

I don’t think so. I have just started with a fresh SDImage…

lrwxrwxrwx  1 pi pi   29 May 12 10:47 backup -> /home/pi/backup/backup-module

@pomonabill220 I don’t understnad how you have ended up where you are if this was an EmonSD image or a shop bought emonpi.

Step 1 will be to relink the symlink

ln -sf /home/pi/backup/backup-module /var/www/emoncms/Modules/backup

Step 2 - create a config file. This is from my standard EmonPi

pi@emonpi:/var/log $ cat  /home/pi/backup/config.cfg
# Emoncms Export and Import scripts config file

## DEFAULT CONFIG ##

# These settings are used for both the export and import scripts.
# To export from one location and import into another
# Used by both PHP and Bash and comments are not ignored

# Change all capitalised placeholders to relevant locations

# user
user="pi"

backup_script_location="/home/pi/backup"

# Directory location of Emoncms
emoncms_location="/var/www/emoncms"

# Destination location of exported backup .tar.gz - Must be writable
backup_location="/home/pi/data"

# location of phpfina phpfiwa and phptimeseries databases
database_path="/home/pi/data"

# Location of emonhub.conf - leave blank if backup not required
emonhub_config_path="/home/pi/data"

# Location of specimen emonhub config
emonhub_specimen_config="/home/pi/emonhub/conf"

# Location of compressed backup data to import .tar.gz
backup_source_path="/home/pi/data/uploads"

borpin:

Yes it was, the folder was renamed from backup/backup to backup/backup-module so I suspect there was no accompanying addition made to the updater script to change the existing symlinks perhaps (I haven’t checked)

github.com/emoncms/backup

change backup UI dir to naming convention

committed 03:29PM - 03 Apr 19 UTC

+7 -3

I believe this has been done to try and get the non-www modules to a more consistent structure, it looks like the post-process and sync modules have had the same treatment too (so those symlinks maybe red too?).

Looking closer at the commit for the change to the folder name, it also seems to add a warning in the GUI when the config file is missing, so once the symlink is fixed, there should be some info about the config file in the GUI.

borpin · 2019-05-12T18:38:46.895Z

pb66:

Ah Ok I had missed that. There is a line in the update script to force a new link, but I suspect the logic is not quite right to make it run.

github.com

openenergymonitor/emonpi/blob/e4d5da48982b685d98cabb63dc79b0af9c6b6d04/update/emoncms.sh#L144-L144


      
          ln -sf $emoncms_symlinked_modules/$module/$module-module $emoncms_dir/Modules/$module

Or that this new script does not have the ‘f’ to force it (can’t immediately tell which script is being run on update - it’s a bit of a maze right now).

github.com

openenergymonitor/emonpi/blob/e4d5da48982b685d98cabb63dc79b0af9c6b6d04/install/emoncms_modules.sh#L46-L46


      
          ln -s $usrdir/modules/$module/$module-module $emoncms_www/Modules/$module

I also couldn’t work out where the config file was generated from. Rather than it being the module install script (which would be logical) it is in the install script for all modules (above).

borpin:

I do not think -f will work on folders without using -n also.

That line should be

ln -snf $emoncms_symlinked_modules/$module/$module-module $emoncms_dir/Modules/$module

IMO

borpin:

(can’t immediately tell which script is being run on update - it’s a bit of a maze right now).

It has always been a maze, now it’s like a 3D maze as not only do the scripts go here there and everywhere (as before) but there is also the live, redundant and not yet rolled out timeline aspect, plus the stable vs master versions of the emoncms repo’s to boot.

[edit]

borpin:

Or that this new script does not have the ‘f’ to force it

On a new install, there is no need to force as there is no symlink to replace. I’m pretty sure the issue is the use of the -f on a folder, it follows the symlink and put’s the new symlink in the folder rather than overwriting the existing symlink.

(see symlink - How to force creation of a symbolic link? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange)

[edit2] having said that (-n req’d) if the backup/backup folder no longer exists, then the symlink should get replaced with just -fas it cannot result in a nested symlink (can’t put a symlink in a folder that doesn’t exist!). IMO the -nf options should still be used together when re pointing a folder symlink, even if it should “work out” cause the link is dead because if things are done in the wrong order eg the backup module doesn’t pull first time due to local changes etc, the result not as expected.

Just wanted to provide some information, I hope not to confuse the issue. I have the Backup menu item but not the Post Process menu item. Running v9.9.9

I finally was able to spend time to fix this problem, and it works… thank you for your dummy instructions… BUT in the first line,

pi@emonpi:/var/log $ cat  /home/pi/backup/config.cfg

the $ should be #. I fixed it and it worked great!
The config.cfg file was no-where to be found, and I don’t know WHERE
it went, but I used nano to create a new config.cfg file, copied and pasted the code in your response, fixed the $ #, and tested it out… worked great and I now have a sidebar import/export menu when I select backup under SETUP.
Thanks again!
