Topic: FA 2.4.3 cannot upload backup file

So, I want to upload backup file in the page: admin/backups.php
When I choose file and click upload file, it always says Select backup file first. It is weird because I want to upload existing backup so why should I select backup file first. I think this is bug when uploading.

Re: FA 2.4.3 cannot upload backup file

Are you using the FA 2.4.3+ (Git Master) ?
Choosing the backup file is from your computer into the server (via the file upload box) and not from the list on the server.

Choose an existing backup in the list and then say download.
Now choose the downloaded file on your client machine and upload it and see if uploads.
Check the permissions of the backup folder.

Re: FA 2.4.3 cannot upload backup file

I download from the sourceforge so I don't think it is Git master.

Yes, I did exactly like that. I want to upgrade Fa from 2.3.xx to 2.4. So, I have create companies and backup the old FA database. When I try to upload the database, it doesn't work although in my local it is working.

Maybe it is the permission, I will check that.

Take the Git Master 2.4.3+ and then do your upgrades. There are a lot of fixes in it.
