Thanks for the fast response. ^_^

I thought the same and I have tried with both options, mysql and mysqli, but no luck.

Also I have uploaded twice the UNITE, just to make sure that files were not corrupted, but the error report is the same.

Hi, thanks for replying even at hours where we shouldn't be working :P

Where did you see that version number?

I'm sure is the latest version. It was downloaded yesterday from the link in your website with 1.2. In my changelog says:

<?php die(); ?>
Version 1.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~ Updated restore.php
# [HIGH] Remote backup not working
# [HIGH] Stealth did not work
# [MEDIUM] The configuration.php file would not be read correctly for Joomla! 2.5 sites
# [LOW] Wrong count in "Total definitions failed to run"
# [LOW] Fixed some PHP notices

I just donwloaded now. Unzipped with my MacOS Finder untility and see what is in header of unite.php:

<?php

*/

// Make sure we're being called from the command line, not a web interface
if( array_key_exists('REQUEST_METHOD', $_SERVER) )
{
die('You are not supposed to access this script from the web. You have to run it from the command line. If you don\'t understand what this means, you must not try to use this file before reading the documentation. Thank you.');
}

// Basic defines
define('UNITE', 1);
define('UNITE_VERSION', '1.0.a1');

Is not yet working but I think I found something. Look this is the new output:

So the version is now updated but the error seems to be the same. But I have tried to change several things and there is one that changes the results of the operation.

Originally my database name is set as:
<database name="testingdemoj25">

because, as it says in documentation, this is the name in my installation/sql/databases.ini

dbtype = "mysqli"
dbtech = "mysql"
dbname = "testingdemoj25"
sqlfile = "joomla.sql"
...

If I change this name line:
<database name="whatevertext">

I get the same error:

### Starting job #1 ###
	Running validator
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'UDriver' not found in /home/javier/demosites/engine/factory.php on line 89

But if I use this I get a different result:
<database name="joomla">

Right! I tested in another server and it worked. Well, I have now another issue, but as you say the original problem seems the PHP in the server. Thanks

Javier,

Nicholas is attending Joomla! Day Switzerland and will not return until Monday.

The only suggestion I can make on your last post is to make sure your database user has rights to drop a table. Some commercial hosts handle that permission separately from other permissions. You would not notice during normal operations, just during restore.
