    hi there,
    i was wondering if someone might know what is causing this…
    when i try to perform a backup through wordpress the bar gets to 100% but nothing happens after that. if i click on the link that says ‘backup’ i get an error message on a new window reading:

    File not found:
    marilyn_wp_20070515_548.sql.gz

    Return to Backup

    if i try to perform the backup though phpmyadmin it just goes to a blank screen.

    any help would be greatfully recieved!!

    xxsxx

  • Wonder if repairing you database in phpMyAdmin might help?

    Just in case here’s one example of the repair process:

    i’m so sorry for bumping this after so long but i’ve only just got round to doing the repair, and unfortunately it hasn’t helped.
    all of the other sites on my server are backing up fine…

    Have you checked the permissons on the folder that is carrying your backup files (or intended directory) for write access by the server? Have you looked through FTP to see if the file actually does exist?

    not sure if this is what you meant but i found the folder located at
    /wp-content/backup-a5594
    which was permission 777
    i changed the index.php file inside it to 777 also but my backup still isn’t working..

    just to let anyone who might be having the same problem know: a friend advised me to try backing it up to the server and that seems to work fine. it’s not ideal but it will do fine for now.
