ninjabackup often fails to copy chyrp's sqlitedb #269

Hello, this is not strictly related to chyrp-lite, but quite. /bin/tar: /var/lib/xmpp-it/xmpp-it.db: file changed as we read it Since I'm running this at night and we are just a little community, can it be due to bots accessing the site? Why the db would change though if the site is accessed in read-only? Thanks |

Hello there, Sessions are also stored in the database. Anyone accessing the site will cause a session cookie to be created and stored in the database. Self-identified bots are denied session cookies, but unfortunately a lot of bots do not identify honestly. The easiest solution, if possible, is to have your backup script create the file includes/upgrading.lock, do the backup, and then delete that file immediately afterwards. This will throw a 503 Service Unavailable message to all visitors and prevent all database and configuration file activity while your backup is in progress. |
