[campsite-support] campsite-backup-instance fails, popd & pushd not in shell - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

import

Hi

It fails with the following error:
* Creating tarball...sh: pushd: not found
sh: popd: not found

ERROR!
Unable to create temporary archive.
You may not have the right to write to the current directory.
Please set the current directory to a location where you have
the right to write.

As pushd and popd are builtins in ksh and bash but not in sh they cant
be found when sh is used as shell. Question is, how do I make php use
bash instead of sh for @exec? And can it be fixed in the campsite source
instead of in the php configs?

On FreeBSD I use the external variants, which are default part of OS.
I have no idea what OS are you running.

I'm using Ubuntu edgy eft

btw, the suggestion in the error message that the permissions is wrong
is a bit silly as it has already written tons of stuff by that time.

What Campsite version are you using? I couldn't find any "#!/bin/sh" tag in install scripts.

It's php that uses /bin/sh to execute @exec() calls.

We're using exec() PHP function to run these commands, I don't know if you can configure the PHP module what shell to run. But I didn't have any problem with this before, even in FreeBSD it works ok. Try the following:
- rename /bin/sh to /bin/sh.bak
- create a symbolic link to /bin/bash: ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

As I already wrote before, on FreeBSD I searched for external tools and
patched the campsite sources.
I would recommend this way of fixing and not to replace sh with bash. On
most linux distribution the default shell is bash, but for example on
FreeBSD this step might cause a huge problems on OS basic scripts (rc
scripts and others) because those use standard sh.

Therefore be carefull about the suggested solution and rather change
campsite sources to suit your system, than to make your system to suit
campsite.

It is a pitty I cannot, as I do not use patch in fact, but FreeBSD port
has its own method for find/replace strings and I used this. I sent you
all I know by yahoo messenget though.
