Validation issue Validator "Restore" returned fail statusFile
Unable to prepare restore script.
Usually the issue caused by the following reasons:
- wrong permissions on the restore.php file
- file cannot be reached by direct URL
Start from checking these points at first
I tried to upgrade my store again, and checked my log file what it shown :

I checked the answer by eComlabs at : http://forum.cs-cart.com/topic/43374-upgrade-stopped-unable-to-prepare-restore-file, too.
Could you please help me to resolve it.
Thanks!
In the config.local.php file try to change
define('DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS', 0666); define('DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS', 0777);
with
define('DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS', 0644); define('DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS', 0755);

I tried and it's nothing changed, still stopped upgrading

PM me temporary FTP access to your server so that we can check the issue
Thank you so much! the problem was my low disk space and now I can upgrade my store normally.

Note that some additional code changes in the upgrade script were also made
Hi,
I get the same warning when I want to upgrade from 4.6.1. to 4.6.2.
Changing the directory & file permissions didn't work for me and I have enough disk space.
Any other possibilities I could try?
Thanks,
Ralph

And reading those last three lines our store is over HTTPS. Does that make any difference?
Getting this same error with 4.9.2 upgrade, how did you fix the issue?
You should find a reason why this file is no accessible through direct URL

it was a cs-cart bug
Exactly the same error is not updated. Restore file is not available, curl does not detect it. The problem apparently in the settings NGINX. And specifically in the directory:
location ~ ^/(\w+/)?(\w+/)?var/restore/ { return 404; }
Config configured according to official documentation. That seems to be the problem here:
So I think developers should pay attention and help customers!

Amendment! It is necessary to add a directory to the NGINX configuration:
location ~ ^/(\w+/)?(\w+/)?upgrades/ { allow all; }
then the file will be available on https, but the check is on http. but how to fix it, any ideas?

I have the same issue when upgrading from 4.9.3.SP1 - 4.10.1.
Validation issue
Validator "Restore" returned fail status
File
Unable to prepare restore script.
The file permision is fine and I have enough space on server.
Any ideas?
It seems that the website had password protected directory that caused the issue
I had the same issue. I have a dev site which was password protected on the server. Removing the protection allowed the install script to run
If php timeout setting can be checked pre-upgrade then why can't all this other stuff be checked as well.
I am asking because I am completely ignorant :)
In my case I am attempting 4.3.9 > 4.3.10
I am just having a go while CS-Cart help is waking up in a different time zone.
