I still have the problem when I gzip it.
I can’t work this out.
I have checked the path is correct on localhost and have CHMOD directory to 777 and I am still getting
“Database Failed To Backup On ‘Monday, 21st November 2005 @ 10:17’. Backup File Size Is 0KB”
Any Ideas
Did you try changing the code from:
$backup['path'] = ABSPATH . 'wp-backup-db/';
to:
$backup['path'] = ABSPATH . 'wp-backup-db';
Just did everything today. Worked perfectly. Thanks a ton to Gamerz and all those who helped.
Is there any disadvantage to my backup file being gzip (the default was “no”)?
nope not much of an advantage. Just in case your server does not support gzip, you can off it =)
Hi,
I tried everything described in this thread, but I keep getting this error message:
Database Failed To Backup On ‘Friday, 2nd December 2005 @ 17:23’. Backup File Size Is 0KB
And there is no backup file in the wp-backup-db folder. The folder is chmod 777 and I have the line
$backup[‘path’] = ABSPATH.’wp-backup-db/’;
in my database-manger.php. I also tried it without the “/”, but that didn’t change anything.
Any ideas?
Try:
$backup['path'] = '../wp-backup-db/';
Or manually type in your absoulte path to wp-backup-db
You tried these too?
$backup[‘path’] = ABSPATH . ‘wp-backup-db’;
$backup[‘path’] = ‘../wp-backup-db’;
yes, and it doesn’t work.
Can you check for me your MYSQL Dump Location? which is indicated at the backup database?
It should be just mysql.
Did you try gargantila method?
“I was able to fix the issue by creating a symbolic link to the /usr/local/mysql/bin/msyqldump file under /usr/bin/mysql and now it works…”
Because I think now it is the location of the mysql instead of the permissons.
it is indeed “mysqldump”. how can i change that? how can i create that symbolic link?
I have no idea, sorry. I am not too good with servers. I found a link about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
I think the easier way is to email your server admin and ask for the mysql direct path and we modify database-manager.php. I think it is easier. LOL
hmm… my server admin is not a very helpful person. i don’t think he’ll respond to my email. is there any other way to find out about the mysql direct path?
hmm. do you have a web control panel or something that you can check?
