Laravel 8 spatie backup not working on server

@codelumina We need some more information. What gives that error? What is the full error?

@codelumina Please format your code by adding ``` on the line before and after it

Try wrapping the first part here in () to force early evaluation

 if ((is_file($file)) && filectime($file) > $latest_ctime) {

@Sinnbeck not it's showing blank

@codelumina Why are you wrapping the foreach in a check on $file with it isnt set?

$path = storage_path('app/Laravel/*');
        $latest_ctime = 0;
        $latest_filename = '';
        $files = glob($path);

            foreach($files as $file)
            {
                if ((is_file($file)) && filectime($file) > $latest_ctime)
                {
                        $latest_ctime = filectime($file);
                        $latest_filename = $file;
                }
            }
            return response()->download($latest_filename);

And if you are still getting an error, it should point out what line the error is on

@Sinnbeck now showing The file "" does not exist

@codelumina what line?

And if you are still getting an error, it should point out what line the error is on

@codelumina Can you post a screenshot of the error? Upload to imgur.com and post a link

@codelumina What about if you run it on the cli ? php artisan backup:run

@codelumina If you look to the left there is a row in the stack trace. 46 app/Http/Controllers..etc. Click that and see which line it is

@codelumina Ah yes. So if no file is found, you cannot download any

if (! $latest_filename) {
    return 'NO FILES EXISTS!';
}
return response()->download($latest_filename);

@Sinnbeck understand but why file not found i already called Artisan::call('backup:run');

@codelumina Didnt you already say why that is?

i just realized when i call Artisan::call('backup:run'); than no zip file is creating in storage/app/Laravel

@codelumina I do not know. I dont use the package. Does it create the file locally?

@codelumina Did some digging. Try this in production

Artisan::call('backup:run');
dd(Artisan::output());

Should give you the output of the command. My bet is that it fails. Maybe it does not have write access to the Laravel folder

Did that give you anything useful?

@codelumina I personally use the backup service that is included with ploi.io. They setup my servers, handle my deployments and backups (+ many other things)
