ZN5 Backup Tools 1.0

Here is my ZN5 version of Backup Tools.

Even though it used the same name as my E2 version, the code is completely different. I rewrite the code to make sure it would worked well in my ZN5. This is written in Bash and requires showQ and showRadio. So any modded firmware should be able to run this. In addition, you need to have Mgx Box, MPKG Box, or similar software to install MGX.

I just added some basic features for the backup and restore. The backup file is stored in tar archive and the file name is generated by date. By default, the backup file is stored in /mmc/mmca1/backup, you can change it anyway.

It support backup and restore following data:

  • Contact, SMS, and other related data stored in /ezxlocal/sysDatabase/main.db
  • Menu Tree
    this should work only on the same firmware, so it is useful when you want to try a new firmware and then return to your old firmware, you restore this file and your menu tree will still the same as before you flashed
  • Web Profiles
  • Settings
    I would recommend you to restore this on the same firmware, although it might worked fine to use the backup for the other firmware

The best feature it has is it support multiple backup. So you can choose to restore backup from any date you want (as long as you have the backup). :)

Download

If the download didn’t work, try to right click and choose save link as (or other similar option in your browser).

Hope you find it useful. Cheers… :)

Any comments, suggestions and bugs report are welcome. Thanks.

Frustating WordPress Database Error

Posted on Wordpress and tagged with ,

Have you ever got this error? While this happens, you must make sure you have configured your wp-config.php. Check for these line:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘putyourdbnamehere’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpasswordhere’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

Above is taken from wp-config-sample.php file. As long as you have configured the DB_NAME, DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD correctly, you should be fine. Some host might use a different DB_HOST, but mostly worked fine with localhost.

Well, if it does configured correctly and there still the same error happen, you might need to check the wp_options table.

Open the wp_options table using PHPMyAdmin or other similar software. Find the value siteurl in column option_name, if you see the option_value get a blank value like below:

Then you are probably on right track. Edit this row and insert your domain full URL in the option_value. Save.

Hopefully the error will go away. I don’t know why this could happen, but it did happen in one of my client website… :) It’s indeed frustating to look for this error, since WordPress didn’t give any specific information about it.

If you found another cause of this error, please share.
