Applicable to:

  • SolusVM

Symptoms 

  • Unable to run the SolusVM AutoFTP backup
  • Getting the below error in the page SolusVM > Nodes > the_node > Auto FTP Backup > Log:

    SVM_ERROR: Cannot change to source directory

Cause

The FTP destination directory is wrong in AutoFTP backup settings.

Resolution

  1. Log in to the SolusVM interface
  2. Navigate to SolusVM > Nodes > the_node > Auto FTP Backup
  3. Edit the AutoFTP backup settings - mention the FTP user's home directory in the Directory field

    Note: For example, If the user name is test, then the home directory for the test user is /home/test/. But mentioning the directory as / will upload the backup files into /home/test/

  4. Run the backup manually on Node where the Backup is configured:

    # php /usr/local/solusvm/includes/autoftpbackup.php --mode=all --debug=1
