thanks thats what the problem was! It's NOW FIXED :)

But I'm having 1 more problem.....

When i go to ftp client and look at the "backup" file! The download is only 958k and has a file called "error.txt" with no content!

What's up wit dis?

If the error.txt is empty dont care about it!
Do you wonder why your file is that small? Be happy :-)
If you use the restore function the file will be uncompressed! Then you can see how big it normally would be without compressing.

please publish your solution here . help us!!

by the way , i couldnt find your icq # in anywhere!!

thanks in advance!!!

the problem is you dont have the full path in

run root.php and everything will work perfectly

Help:(

doesn't vb 2.2.5 already have an option to backup database under the admin cp? i thought i saw it?

i'm not sure if this is spose to work with windows, but i get the following:

Start MySQL Dump:
Warning: Unable to fork [mysqldump -l --add-drop-table -h localhost -uadmin -pgeddy vbulletin 2>h:/apache/htdocs/forum/admin/backup/error.txt >h:/apache/htdocs/forum/admin/backup/1019853638.sql] in h:\apache\htdocs\forum\admin\template.php on line 753
done!
compress file:
Warning: Unable to fork [gzip -c h:/apache/htdocs/forum/admin/backup/1019853638.sql > h:/apache/htdocs/forum/admin/backup/1019853638.sql.gz] in h:\apache\htdocs\forum\admin\template.php on line 757
done!
delete not compressed file:
Warning: Unable to fork [rm h:/apache/htdocs/forum/admin/backup/1019853638.sql] in h:\apache\htdocs\forum\admin\template.php on line 761
done!
Before you can restore this file, you have to rename to backp.sql.gz:
Download File

Dont use that cause if you back it up you need to import it through telnet!

I just got it working PERFECTLY....I backed up my database and imported it WITH no problems.....Picture Perfect.

You have made my day. This should come out of beta testing since it works. If it dosent its your host or your screw up

@psychdrone

if you installed the way you have to and it doesn't work there is something wrong with your hoster. Maybe you have the same hoster like Hot Dogg but another package where the mysql dumps for example is not includede or something else! You have to talk to them!

@Hot Dogg
Well maybe i will make it out of beta but probably i will release some new features, so be patient. :-)

i dont think so it is the full path problem.
i didnt get any error message and i can see *.sql in my backup folder. but sql file is 0kb. and got a error.txt says:
"mysqldump command not find!!!"

sad!!!!
