I mentioned that it might not work on a windows server. It should work on unix systems though.

AllMadden: Please post the code on and around that line.

Schorsch: What are the details of your server? What is the OS being used? Try executing this command from an SSH window on your server:

mysqldump --opt -uDBUSERNAME -pDBPASSWORD DBNAME > /path/to/backup/file.sql

Tell me if that works.

How can I make it so that I automatically have the folder I want my backups to go in remembered? I tried placing it in the code, but it didn't work... ideas?

Open maincontrol.php

Find:
Replace with:
Change the path, and it should work.

I use SuSE Linux 8.1

the mysqldump command works without problems (used this many times before).

Well I'm really no expert on SSH/telnet or servers...so I guess the problem is out of my hands, and I suppose that's a feature you won't be able to use, until I somehow figure out a way to make it work. Sorry :(.

awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time
thx!

Any screenie? ;)

look in the zip file

hehe no problem :). I'm glad there's quite a bit of enthusiasm for this hack, version 1.1 may be on its way soon though, with some fixes.

great! many thanx!
