Hi m8, just installed this version seen as the other version stopped working..

I get this error when i run it manually to check it...

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

What have i forgotten please

I take it

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Is what we need to edit, if so would this be right, e.g.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

or have i got it totaly wrong?

Or is it sommat else i forgot, sorry m8 but me aint 100% clued up on stuff like this yet!!

Only you know where on your server you are going to store the backups.

DIR is the path to your forum root folder (without the trailing '/') - so what you have is probably wrong, I would guess you are trying to use a folder called mydbbackup in your forum folder, so it would be DIR.'/mydbbackup/' .

JFYI - Storing backups in your forum folder is a very bad idea, as anyone could download them.

Thanks

[bashy]

nah its ok m8 that was just an example so that i i had an idea as to what to put...its not gonna be in my forum folder, its actually going in the root

Thanks again

Ps you said without the trailing, yet you added a trailing in ya post, also the config file says with trailing as well
Which is it please?

I suggest you read it again. I said DIR is the path to your forum, with no trailing '/' in it.

Is there any option for upload the file automaticly via ftp

[Neal-UK]

I have my backup off the root, but when I enter the same settings as when I do a manual backup I get the same error bashy gets.

In the config file, it does say DIR for the backup with trailing "/"

I've entered it like "/site/user/whatever/isit/dbbackup/"

you just need to chmod the directory to make it writable. ;-) also remember to keep it out of public_html so that it is not viewable to the web.

also keep the directory within your sites dirs and not off of / but rather a local dir for that particular site ie. /site/user/what/backups/ or /home/whatever/backups.

your script will run as the user nobody or your account user, which will not allow it to write files off of root ie. /dbbackups

hope that helps.

i forgot to mention... nice... :-) works fine for me and i have 900k post. it might cause a load issue but it seems the same compared to when i run mysqldump from ssh.

[Neal-UK]

It's all set right then, the directory is chmod to 777 as i normally do a manual backup. It's one above public_html also for security reasons.

Can't get it to work.

EDIT: Replaced file with directory

[phpdevrus]

no i meant chmod the directory and not the file. let me know if that works or not.

[Neal-UK]

Yes the directory is chmod to 777, as I normally do a manual backup.

Weird, useful mod this too.
