All Good Things Must Come To An End

As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education.

I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010.

I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another.

However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.

Backup Fails to work on WP2.8
« on: 17 July 2009, 18:20 »
I'm using WP2.8. Installed WP-DBManager 2.50 and I get the following error messages:

Warning: system() [function.system]: Unable to fork [C:/Inetpub/vhosts/scouttingforparts.com/httpdocs/wp-content/backup-db/wp-dbmanager.bat > NUL] in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\scouttingforparts.com\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\wp-dbmanager\wp-dbmanager.php on line 214

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for C:/Inetpub/vhosts/scouttingforparts.com/httpdocs/wp-content/backup-db/1247858475_-_scoutwebsite.sql.gz in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\scouttingforparts.com\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\wp-dbmanager\database-backup.php on line 57

Warning: unlink(C:/Inetpub/vhosts/scouttingforparts.com/httpdocs/wp-content/backup-db/1247858475_-_scoutwebsite.sql.gz) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\scouttingforparts.com\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\wp-dbmanager\database-backup.php on line 58

Consequently the backup didn't run.

Help please.

Thks,

Mark

It is a pain in the ass to setup WP-DBManager with IIS because it requires using mysqldump.exe, I recommend you use this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/

I'm getting the exact same error. So, are you saying this is by design? This will not work on an IIS hosted system? There's no way around this?

It would be easy to go back to wp-database-backup but that only does a quick gzip backup of your tables to a folder and that's it. No restore capability or nothing. Your product looked like it had real promise.... I wish it worked....
