Last friday I made a backup to Dropbox. I thought all went well. Made changes in the gedcom yesterday and today and wanted to backup again. I think it didn’t do anything. Checked the files in Dropbox and couldn,t find the .ged file created friday nor the one created today.
Then tried again than this error came.

Made twice a topic on the forum but couldn’t submit.

Submit did work OK for both, but they were regarded as spam by the system. Not sure why, but something in the words used, presumably in the title as the first had no other content. Anyway I have deleted the first and published the second so it is now on the forum.

Friday I tested this and it seems good.
Today I wanted to make a new back> up but nothing happened. Just an error.
Did I handle this wrong or is it an error.

I can’t tell you what happened. But the error seems to be that your Dropbox “token” is not correct. I’ve been using my copy regularly for weeks now with no problems, and I know of at least two others also not having this problem. So I can only guess:

• Perhaps by mistake you changed or even deleted the token on the config page? (but I doubt this)
• Perhaps there was an error in transmission between your PC and Dropbox servers

I can only suggest you reset the token in kiwitrees (you can read it from the Dropbox app site where you first created it) and try again.

I have reset the token and the backup was made. But I can’t find the .ged file I have created.

I really don’t know how that can happen.

Are the media and zip file you can see in the location Dropbox/Apps/your dropbox folder/Data/ ?

Do you have a copy of your dropbox folders also on your local machine? I use that as well. You need to install the DRopbox app: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/4454

How large is the .ged file? The backup process is not quick. Perhaps it is not finished

Last idea: check your server logs for errors at that time related to the backup to dropbox module..

Yes

Yes

How large is the .ged file?

1391Kb

This were the last errors in the log.

So there is the issue. Can you change that time?

You can try changing it in kiwitrees (Administration > Site administration > Site configuration > PHP time limit)

But important to note the comment there:

You can request a higher or lower limit here, although the server may ignore this request.

If you look at the same setting (max_execution_time) in Administration > Site administration > Site information you will see two figures. On the left (“Local value”) is what you have it set at. On the right (“Master value”) is the maximum the server is configured to allow. If that is 30, then you will need to ask your web host for more.

BUT 30 secs should be enough for a 1391kb file. My main GEDCOM is 7312kb, and that goes through to Dropbox well inside my limit of 120 secs. So perhaps your server has other restrictions?

One other thought, in Administration > Site administration > Site information do you have this setting:

cURL support -> enabled

Master value of max execution time is 300 and cURL support is enabled.
So I have to set the max ececution to 300? Or test it with a value between 30 and 300?

I would set it to 300. Never hurts to have as much memory and time as you can get.

Set it to 300. Backup finished and the gedcom was uploaded to dropbox. 🙂
Thanks Nigel!
