The message means either you have set the backup folder incorrectly, or the permissions on it are wrong. There are no ACP options for this, just the supplied config file.

How do I know where it is trying to back up to then? I dont see an option anywhere stating where it would go, so I can check the permissions =) Thanks

The setting is in the [supplied] config file.

Any other ideas? I edited the correct backup directory, and I still get the same message...The DIR is also chmod 777

I tried

/domains/MYWEBSITE.net/public_html/backup/nightly/

as well as

/backup/nightly/

Try using a relative path, like ../backup/nightly/

Tried that as well, chmod to 777, still the same result

Hey Paul, I'm getting this error when I try to run a backup manually.

Database Backup

Processing access : Total Rows = 0
Processing adminhelp : Total Rows = 1394

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_unbuffered_query() in /home/horizon/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 1066


Any suggestions? :) Thanks a lot.
David

Edit: I see it also didn't turn the forum back on either.

That's a bug in vbulletin.

There is no such php function as mysqli_unbuffered_query().

The only thing you can do is use mysql, not mysqli.

It didn't turn the forum on because it failed.

Hi Paul,

How can I use MySQL instead of MySQLi if I already specified MySQLi in the vBulletin config file when I setup vB?

Just change (edit) the config file.
