During the restoration of a zip backup created with AKB pro 3.3.6, I saw the following "red flag" message (see the "No" below).

Directories


Temporary Directory
/home/test/public_html/tmp Yes

Logs Directory
/home/test/public_html/logs Yes

Cache Directories
/home/test/public_htmlDScache No

I never saw this before 3.3.6 (and I restored many backups :-), so it is possible that this is a new issue introduced with 3.3.6.

I tried to restore the backup on my local Fedora 15 system with the latest LAMP components installed. Permissions are no issue and the backup actually restored correctly despite the error message above.

I believe this could be a bug because the path contains the PHP directory separator (DS).

Yes, that's a bug, but the workaround is simple. Continue with restoring the database. Then, when you reach the Server Setup page, just click the "Use directories under the new site's root" checkbox on the topmost pane and it should fix itself.

I did not a need a workaround, because the backup restored correctly without any action. (So it was just a cosmetic bug, nevertheless I wanted to report it :-)

All right :) I have already fixed that in the SVN, after another user reported it, and I saw that it's just cosmetic. Well, unless no other major showstopper appears, I don't plan a new release in the 3.3.x range.
