What this hack does:
You can backup and restore your mysql database via Admin CP!
Lot of people have problems to restore their database du to server timeouts!
With this hack you will never have any problems!
But anyhow you will use this hack with your own risk!
Requirements: Unix, GZIP, MySQL, MySQLDump
I am not a programmer! I just tried to implement this feature into my vbulletin and it works!
Maybe some of you, have the possibility to improve this hack! You are welcome!

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.
Hostrocket does support the MySQL commands and gzip....get in touch with me via ICQ and I will help you out. BTW I just tested this and I'm on hostrocket and it works fine...nice hack!
Dark_Wizard
please publish your solution here . help us!!
by the way , i couldnt find your icq # in anywhere!!
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
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!!!"
