Since you are using debian, you need to have the php4-cli (or php5- cli depending on what version of php you are using) package installed which contains the command line interpreter for php

Hi @all, I try to make a complete backup from my current wiki. Therefore I use dumpBackup.php, which I have copied to my /var/www/ wiki. AdminSettings.php is configured and commandLine.inc is copied to the same directory. When I try to call my /wiki/dumpBackup.php from the browser, I get "This script must be run from the command line". Also I tried: debian:/var/www/wiki# php dumpBackup.php -bash: php: command not found How can I call the script from the command line? All other trials did not work too, e.g. "php dumpBackup.php --current" Is there anything else to install or configure? The other question: what is a good method to backup the whole system (DB, Images, Configs, DB-Users...)? The description at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Export is a little bit small... Regards Stefan
