Help!it's taken me one month to upload all my products,but bow all of them have been gone.
i exported the excel file to edit the "weight" and when i imported them back,it says something wrong on product 262.then i deleted the product 262,and imported the excel "successfully,at this the page said so.but when i open my web-site and check everything,and everything's gone.nothing left!!! then i tried to restore the backup what i got from the backup/restore,and the sad thing is "Warning: The file you uploaded was empty!", and there is another upper line says:"Notice: Undefined index: import in /home/---/public_html/admin/controller/tool/backup.php on line 13
,i've checked the backup.php file,it's normal,and tried another earlier backup,it works,but that earlier backup just keeps little products,now i've lost a plenty of products!i've asked the opencart.cn ,they told me maybe there is a bug in backup/restore.
my version is 1.5.1.3,and two language.

Did you find an answer to this as i have the same problem, using 1.4.9.1

so do i ,my opencart 1.5.3.1.

how this issue is solved?

I would love to know how this issue was solved...I am having the same problem.

What is the exact question?

i need to update the backup system to break the file up. large databases are a major problem.

The problem is that using a third-party program to restore backups to the MySQL fails as the MAX_ALLOWED_PACKET and WAIT_TIMEOUT is mostly set to default and backups are to large and thus taking to long to restore.

Breaking a backup up in pieces could do the trick.

What is the solution with this? Please reply if you found the problem.
Warning: The file you uploaded was empty!
Notice: Undefined index: import in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/admin/controller/tool/backup.php on line 13

Thanks

Hi All,
You should open the .htaccess and see the solution for yourself - Just uncomment below lines and you should be good to go.

# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
php_value upload_max_filesize 999M

# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
php_value post_max_size 999M

Be aware that many systems now prohibit php_value and php_flag commands in .htaccess. You should be using, if possible, the php.ini (or equivalent) file and making your settings in there.
