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.

What syntax to use for Database Path in DB Options
« on: 10 September 2011, 03:56 »

When trying to use the backup feature in WP-DBManager, I get two errors:
MYSQL path does NOT exist. Please check your mysql path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator.
AND:
MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator.

My Hosting Service URLZoo has the DB located on a server that is different than my site.
While I know the path for my DB, I have tried to enter it into the DB Options with my name and password as the string that will allow the Plugin to do the backup.  I have tried a variety of different strings that each include the DB name and password.  I may have the wrong syntax for the entire string that includes the name and password.  Or I may have other unknown issues.

Can anyone help please?
