Hello

i have read a lot of pages in this topic but i cant find a solution for my problem:

i have installed this product:

i have set:

$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '/home/httpd/vhosts/pc-helpforum.be/httpdocs/backups/'; // Path to backups folder, with trailing slash

so when i check if it works (press 'run now') i get the error:
An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

when i check the ftp folder: 'backups', there is a folder 2007-05-24 generated

all maps are 777 cmod

whats wrong?

"all maps are 777" What does that mean ?

You shouldn't be storing backups in your httpdocs folder as they will be accessible to anyone.

To make sure I had everything right. And....I needed to backup so I could install some hacks. Not good to manually run it?

i mean that the folder Backups has write access,

suggestions?

i will change that

If you run it manually and it takes a long time then you may hit timeout issues (as indeed you appear to have).

Use a relative path in the setting (i.e. ../backups or ../../backups).

i can't see to get it work

the fulle path is /home/httpd/vhosts/pc-helpforum.be/httpdocs

my forums are directly in the httdocs folder

so the map includes is: /home/httpd/vhosts/pc-helpforum.be/httpdocs/includes

i have create the map backups in /home/httpd/vhosts/pc-helpforum.be/httpdocs/backups

so i have set it:

$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '../backups/'; // Path to backups folder, with trailing slash

also tried

$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '../../backups/'; // Path to backups folder, with trailing slash

suggestions:
sorry because i don't got it work

Sorry, there is nothing I can do about permission issues with your server, which is what you have here.

Do u think?

I can use the backup feature thats included in vb standard - that works very good
but now its not working, weird :-)

Yes, the error you listed tells you that ;

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

That means the webserver did not have write permissions to create the file.
