Description of my issue:
I am trying to backup a 1.5.26 site with JMS multisites installed on it. I cannot change the permissions of the root directory to 0755 due to the symlinks. I get this type of error: http://screencast.com/t/QKjLGU05k4
Unreadable file /var/www/html/multisites/146empoweru/libraries. Check permissions Unreadable file /var/www/html/multisites/146empoweru/plugins. Check permissions Unreadable file /var/www/html/multisites/146empoweru/media. Check permissions However, with these errors, the backup does complete. It's one JPA and 11 additional supportive zips. I downloaded it with binary code, all 22gb, via SFTP in WinSCP. I want to back up the site so I can install it locally and migrate it to Joomla 2.5.9. I tried installing this downloaded backup locally via kickstart.php, but during the unpacking/extraction it says it has an error reading a particular file and asks if I want to start over. I tried changing the permissions in my local folders to access/read/write full permissions and even with the change the error still occurs. What am I to do? Thanks, Dawn
