Error 503 Backend fetch failed

[accoun80]

I'm trying to do a backup of my database using a PHP script. I've tested it the PHP script and works fine. However, when I run it from my webiste, I get the 503 error and stops the script after some time. The script is not finishing. I would like to ask if this error is a problem with the server or the script is getting terminated because of lack of rsources (or osomethig like that). Can someone help me, please? Thanks for your service.

Hi accoun80,

PHP scripts have approximately 30 seconds to complete before the 503 error message is returned. Could your script be exceeding this time?

Thank you,

The script is most likely being killed because it is taking too long to run.

What exactly are you doing to backup the database?

I'd recommend using this script. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmbackup/

Thanks, just as I had expected.

Edit: The script does take more than 30 seconds.
