 * Hey there.
 * Great plugin, took a little time for a novice to get the various minor items 
   to fit, but it works now, more or less.
 * I am running my WP on a linux server, whice i got to push to my bitbucket.
 * Though, I am unable to get the DB pushed as well.
 * I the help tab everything checks out, except git install path and MYSQL install
   path.
 * My git i located at /usr/bin/git and the MySql at /usr/bin/mysql
 * Is there a way i can get Revisr to discover my MySql install path?
 * I have tried /usr/bin/mysql and /usr/bin/ in the mysql install path field, both
   without succes.
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * The setting on the “Help” tab currently isn’t updated by the MySQL Path field.
   The debug info on the Help tab is just whether or not Revisr automatically detected
   that item.
 * I can see now how that may be confusing and will be improving this area. But 
   for now you should be able to just set the MySQL Path to /usr/bin/ and backups
   should work if that is the correct path and mysqldump is available.
 * Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you.

 * Okay, I spoke with my host.
 * They said that mysqldump is installed, but as the web server and DB are on different
   machines, I need to use “–bind-address=ip_address” option in the mysqldump to
   get it to work.
 * So, is there a hook i can yoink and set this param, or do you have an idea how
   i might achieve this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * From the other thread it sounds like you have backups working now, but just for
   reference, Revisr uses the DB config settings from the wp-config.php for connecting
   to MySQL.
 * As long as the local machine has mysqldump installed, and Revisr knows the path
   to it, backups should work regardless of where the actual DB is located.
