it says

Backups Path
Path to backups folder, this must have a trailing slash and folder must be writable.
Try to use a relative path if possible.

Why didn't you ask in that thread? :confused:

you can find your forum path by making a php file and navigating to it.

<?php

if ($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])
{
$path = $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'];
}
else if ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])
{
$path = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
}
else
{
echo 'We are sorry, but this script is unable to determine your forums path.';
exit;
}

echo substr($path, 0, (strlen($path) - 14));

?>

done
it says
/home2/gagalitt/public_html/alphaf

but folder alphaf does not exist..

theres this folder which is my forum root which is there after public_html though

[Brandon Sheley]

personally I would put the backups under the public_html so according to your post, make a writable folder here

home2/gagalitt/backups/

[Brandon Sheley]

777 but if it's under the public_html, it's not accessible by the public
