Hi Guys,

I am having problem backing up my forum - I need to do the update but before I do this I have been told to backup the database just incase.

Well I have followed the instructions from:

http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/...tin-backup.htm

However I am getting the following error message:

vBulletin Message

Unable to write backup to file ./forumbackup-01-21-2009-70fb5.sql. This file or the directory this file is in must be world writable!

Now what must I do in order sort this problem out. It is something to do with privilages but I do not know what folder to allow write access also what data I need to enter in the text box field.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

introlux
