Hmm I went into config.php in the includes folder and changed mysqli (first option) to mysql, saved and now when I load the board, I just get a completely blank white page...

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks Paul,

David

Sounds to me like you may have made an editing error, so the config file isn't loading.

I just changed mysqli to mysql. I changed it back to mysqli and everything came up normally.

Is there anything I have to do aside from changing mysqli to mysql?

Sorry to be a noob

i have a windows server and have created a folder called backups

c:\backups

what would the path be needed to save in this folde and not the forum folder

tia

"c:\backups\"

However, php may not have permission to write to it.

Any more ideas on this? It still will not work =( Thanks

Sorry, I can't help you with permission problems on your server. Speak to your host.

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

Refer to post 117

I got it working. For some reason it had to have a . in front of /backup/nightly, like ./backup/nightly/ no clue what the . means but it worked
