[Koha-devel] Problem with upgrading and specify backup directory

[Klaus Weidenbach]

Heihei,

> Are you sure you run the updater as a user with enough permissions ?

Well, I was first user klaus and I have permissions to write in the directory 
I gave under "Please specify a directory to store the backup in", but the 
updater didn't took that directory, but always wanted to write in the default 
location: [/usr/local/backups] where I had no rights. I have then tried as 
root and then it worked, but it wrote the backup in /usr/local/backups and 
not in the folder I gave.

Oh, the messages "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at 
Install.pm line 2117, <STDIN> line 5." were another problem, because I have 
my koha config not in /etc, but I changed a line in the updater script and 
then this message disasspeared. Is it possible to add a command line 
parameter for the updater where I can give the path to the config file? 
Thanks ;))

Yes, that fixed this problem! ;))
