Database Backup Error? v2.0.6

Store Builder Questions
1

I was backing up my database without problems in v2.0.5. When I upgraded to v2.0.6 I’m getting the following error. Is anyone else on the newest version seeing the same thing?



Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /public_html/var/compiled/admin/%%E4^E42^E4252AD1%%mainbox.tpl.php on line 56



thanks!

How you have upgraded to new version through FTP or upgrade center ?



Do you have a backup, if yes first restore and than reply

Hey,



I used the upgrade center to go from v2.0.5 to v2.0.6. I decided on using cpanel to backup my database as a workaround. Thanks for your help

You can also take a backup from admin area. Through FTP download that backup to desktop for security purpose. This backup will help you if your site was hack or file was deleted

Ask to check hosting: register_globals

should be included.

I had the same error.

Thanks miracles for the suggestion, I’ll try that method as well.



ALEXsei my register_globals are turned off. I’ll see if they can turn it on then try backing up again. Appreciate the info.

I do not understand :slight_smile:

Write simple sentences.

I use the translator google.

register_globals - always included.

This may be due to the transition of php4 for php5.

Refer to the host, or write to .h ****



Thanks

I did confirm from my host that register_globals was turned off. The host told me to create a php.ini file and place it in the install directory with the following code. This file turned on register_globals and now I can do backup’s again from the admin interface! yay!



Thanks guys.


```php
register_globals = On;

Thanks for this info on register_globals. It fixed my problem.

Thanks so much for posting this solution! Worked like a charm :slight_smile:

Could anyone, who faced this problem, specify the php version installed on your hosting? The “register_globals” is very bad and insecure php option. But the only connection between your problems and this option for me - bug in php/server environment.

My host is running PHP 5.2.10

Hm, I have not found any problems in this version. Is it possible to disable register_globals and give me the ftp access to server to check this problem?
