vb.org Archive - View Single Post - MySQL Database Backup/Restore Hack Ver. 1.0

iggy123 · #**141** 05-10-2003, 09:27 AM

I am using 2.30 and it worked fine for me - my db was screwed, I back it up every other day - and delete the old one,and I restored it using this hack and it worked a dream. I only lost 1 days posts (approx 300) so I was well happy!

update since moving the forums to a new folder I am having real problems.....

I have altered the templete.php to show

Code:

$pfad="home/virtual/site97/fst/var/www/html/forums/admin/backup";
$download_url="http://XXXX.net/forums/admin/backup/";

everything appears to be fine - i get the message "db backed up" etc
but when i down load the db - it tells me that the file is corrupt.
I have checked the folder permissions etc and everything appears to be fine?
