I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the answer to your question. I'll do some research in Google and get back to you if I bump into an anything. You should email the people at Verisign as they probably can help you..
I have a problem that I don't know how to fix. I have not come across this before. Now I have changed servers and need to re-install OsCommerce from a fresh install I am getting this message when I want to back up the data base. Any suggestions please?.

/home/spiritco/public_html/Shop/admin/backup.php on line 444.
Is this a simple "permissions" base problem because I have changed the permissions on the backup folder to 777.
I don't understand the "file is not within the allowed path(s)" bit either..
Thanks so much for any help.

In your admin / includes / application_top.php.
Find.
// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', '/usr/bin/gzip');.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', '/usr/bin/gunzip');.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', '/usr/local/bin/zip');.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', '/usr/local/bin/unzip');.
Change to.
// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', 'gzip');.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', 'gunzip');.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', 'zip');.
Define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', 'unzip');.
Nic..
Thank you soooooo much Nic,.
You are a life saver! I have been using the MySQL to back up. However I am uncertain of it. Within OsCommerce, I know how to back up and restore as have done this many times over..
Now I can get back to "normal". Thank you again..
I really appreciate it..
If I was to backup the database in os commerce, will that save all my product listing and images and all my work I put into os commerce..
I figure if it does, then I could uninstall my oscommerce and move my oscommerce elsewhere and then use the backup to fix my oscommerce to look as I had it before I backed it up..

A DB backup saves the names of the images used but doesn't backup the actual image files...
